if i were a prophet

if i were a prophet
here's what i see

thirsty
hungry
sick
tired
scared
greed
exclusion

these are the tools power uses to control people

i see the powerful harvesting millions of the lives of the weak

like farmers planting a crop
the powerful lull the weak into a false sense of security
and the weak bring out their lives and invest their lives and feel
powerful for a summer
while like chickens they are breed in a frenzy, getting plump for the
slaughter

and then their wealth is stripped from them
their houses are worthless

and to feed their families
men and woman sell everything
