If I had the power,

the world would go black.

Injustice, hatred, ego.

Humans are frauds;

evil surpasses the good

of our gods.


Overlords sign their names on bombs,

scribbles that explode into limbs and death.

Inherited goodness they forgo,

yet pray in the name of god.

Off to church they go.


Nothing has changed

since the beginning of time.


The powerless say:

but what can we do?

When all evidence points

to our bended knees,

we just want a piece

of what the rulers do.
