Bureaucracies rule the world they tell Governments what to do <br />And at the expense of the many they favour the privileged few <br />And Government for the wealthy only the catch cry of the day <br />And the rich keep getting richer though 'tis always been that way. <br /> <br />The social gap keeps on widening we have never had more poor <br />And for the escalating World poverty conservative Governments do not seek a cure <br />It always was and is still only hearsay this thing called a fair go for all <br />In the sad lives of the have nots only sadness to recall. <br /> <br />In a World of so much poverty it does seem an awful shame <br />That those with the power of money can buy their ticket to fame <br />In an egalatarian World things would never be this way <br />And polarization has never been more rampant despite what some might say. <br /> <br />In wars and droughts and famines the wealthy never die <br />And that one's destiny is in their own hands is a Bureaucratic lie <br />Spread around by the arms tycoons who on the poor inflict pain <br />Who support wars for selfish reasons for their own financial gain. <br /> <br />Bureaucracies rule the World they have such an ugly face <br />And the betterment of humankind is a thing they don't embrace <br />And the poor keep getting poorer in their suburbs of decay <br />And for the good lives of the privileged few the many have to pay.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bureaucracies-rule-the-world/
