From them only negative stuff we do hear <br />They tell us who to trust and tell us who to fear <br />We want to believe the lies to us they tell <br />They promise Utopia and give us Earthly Hell. <br /> <br />We want to believe every word that they say <br />And for to cling to power they create us and they <br />We help to create our own reality <br />The blind in the light of day never do see. <br /> <br />Their pre election promises they never do keep <br />We give them our power and we follow like sheep <br />They tell us who to fear and them we believe <br />And they laugh behind our backs and us they deceive. <br /> <br />Through false patriotism to power they do cling <br />And the praises of war heroes they gladly do sing <br />They cling on to power and they cheat and they lie <br />Whilst in the wars they created the innocents die.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-give-them-our-power/
