Proverbs 16:19
“Better to be lowly in Spirit among the oppressed
than to share plunder with the proud”
In our search for self determination
and to manage ourselves by voter’s bliss,
is a disguised anointed simple citation
written by powers the country can’t miss
As the rate responsibilities are changing
and the jobs of importance direct the way
These jobs are surely grabbed by people,
who in the past wished responsibility away
They have so many people who are so active
According to the world’s point of view
That more should be hired to lessen
the burden at expense of me and you.
Now they are taking our jobs as expenses
and we are just to be drained to the core
Is it too late to mend any traditional fences,
which are flattened, draining our hope.
Clawing and tearing our flesh to the bone
It’s too late for crying in patience
Conditions in the world beyond our control
just in time to smell decaying fragrance
They first took a finger, now where is my hand?
My arm I can’t find it, no more legs to stand
There is not too much left, like it or not
I hope for compassion as I boil in a pot.
Jan Wienen
