Revolution

The people are all dying

Their tears running dry

But the fat cats are singing

Not asking, just why

We've fallen down a black hole

The rich won't pull us out

We'll have to dig until we bleed

No response if we're to shout

We found a little kindness

and humanity along the way

Raised voices in the corridor

Listen to what they say

There comes a revolution

A revolt against 'The man'

We will stand as one

United, every hand

 

The people are all dying

Their tears are running dry

We will find a way to help

If it takes until we die

It sounds very much like a heroic speech. This has a compelling and strong tone in it. Simple but meaningful.

Keep Writing. ^___^

Wonderful entry into my contest. A well deserving win.

[Samuel Dickens]

The wealth of the few and poverty of many is seemingly spreading all around the world. Never have I seen such greed and cold-heartedness, even among those who call themselves "Christians." Your poetry is excellent.

This is really really good. Gave me chill bumps.I like the way you write. The flow you give you poems. This one is very meaningful. :)
