I happen to be terrified <br />By cut-throat competition <br />And sinister backroom deals <br />Rendering all treasures and rewards <br />To the obscenely decadent and rich <br />While the land I love <br />Descends into a trash heap <br />Where the poor and dispossessed must weep. <br />. <br />There has to be revolution <br />And the turning of everything <br />Upside down! <br /> <br />The politics of cruelty <br />Must be supplanted by compassion, <br />There must be an underground reaction <br />To the overt violence and greed <br />Of those in devastating power <br />Who currently hold the keys in this dark hour <br />To the prison cell of this existence.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/devastating-power/
