A
World of Pretend
What
am I doing,
and
why am I here?
What
practical joke,
keeps
a person in fear?
They’ve
taken my rights,
the
right to fight back,
and
the rent is due,
on
my cheap little shack.
To
fall through the cracks,
where
supplies are bare,
my
clothes now tattered,
by
the time and the wear.
“There’s
no work for you”,
well
that’s what they say,
they
bid me good luck,
and
have a nice day.
But
still we push on,
experience
and all,
greet
what comes at us,
to
get over the wall.
With
the cupboard bare,
and
bills that are due,
we
stroll to good will,
and
push our way through.
The
lines are longer,
on
handouts today,
more
families in stress,
in
jobs with less pay.
Rations
now given,
with
sac and a smile,
but
I won’t eat much,
so,
it lasts for a while.
As
the sun descends,
there’s
talk of a fight,
the
streets are restless,
grows
night after night.
Policemen
then bloom,
with
night sticks and guns,
teargas
the people,
and
set them to run.
Communities
locked down,
in
debt that they owe,
the
rich grow richer,
…they’ll
reap what they sow.
The
morning sun’s up,
the
streets still in flame,
media
strikes out,
it’s
the people they blame.
So
here we all are,
in
wait for the end,
there’s
no going back,
in
a world of pretend.

About
this Poem:
The fraudulent economic model controlled by the private banks through real estate and multi-national corporations have destroyed our communities.
Housing is so expensive now due to inflation that no one but the very rich can
afford it. Weather it’s a home, apartment or condo, the wealthy have made it
impossible for future generations to afford any of them. The jobs offered, if
there are any, are all low paying labor jobs that no longer cover the rent,
food, and bills.
The
Private Banks and government pretend that all is well…and now that they have
shut the economy down for 3 or 4 months to usurp what’s left through a
pretentious excuse of a pandemic, a great many people are going to be in dire
need…there is no future for the community unless the private banks, the bailed
out corporations and governments stop pretending that there’s no problem…There
IS a problem and that problem stems from the absolute greed and parasitic
destruction of our communities by these private banks, corporations and real
estate developers through the economic growth banking model. It’s time for
everyone to stand up and change the way money works. The Reset that they will
propose in 2021 will NOT be in the people’s favour. They do not want to let go
of their economic power or control of OUR communities…make no mistake, the
depression that’s coming is really going to hurt millions of people in every
country. The only way to make change is to change the way money works, and that
requires all of us to stand up and unite against the private banks and their
monetary control. They are absolute parasites.
