Where wealth obscures morality <br />And profit has no remorse <br />Where a human death is but a step <br />To cement a greater wealth <br />Where the bankers run a government <br />Who bend with cap in hand <br />Where glass towers stand not proud <br />But as tombstones of this land <br />Where history is disgraced and dispensed <br />For the future of but a few <br />Where the civil majority suffer <br />To scrape, to live to survive <br />Where the mistrust of ideas begins <br />Bleeds dry the concept of democracy <br />Where greed becomes a by-word of power <br />Where human souls are found a price <br />Where a thousand voices remain unheard <br />A nation slowly dies<br /><br />Matthew Holloway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-of-a-nation/
