Treetop Feeders

Our governments
Who make the law
For all of us to live by
Demand that we must
Toe the line
Suffer strife
Lest we comply

But there are those
Who rule the roost
They say on our behalf
Clearly doing
As they please
Some sort of civic
Other half

But then again
Our mouths are closed
For being lazy in the mind
As the order of the special few
Leave people
Stripped and undermined

Laws are spider webs where the big fly’s pass and the little ones get caught - Honore de Balzac
