The precipice between


How could this ever happen 

That some hearts forgot to open.

That some persons are on heights 

While crowds of people serve all nights.

Despite hard work

They are in dark 

Of poorness and concern 

If the Justice will return

To the place of peace.

Where a fare Golden Fleece (1)

Does not allow a precipice 

Between necessitous 

And those who swim in money 

With their authority dummy, 

Not letting any man 

To get in their narrow grandee clan,

Holding poor with none of their earn 

Forbidding chance to grow upturn.

If they already took positions

They’ll not listen your petitions...

 

(1) The symbol of authority and kingship in a Greek mythology
