A World of Pretend

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.
