Those in power
Play power games
But the people
Remain the same
Working hard to stay afloat

A president here
A king there
Prime minister
And other offices of power
Where power plays are made
But the people remain the same

Wealth is lost and gained
Then lost again
Passed on
To the wealthy sons
While strangers starve
While laborers struggle on
The whims of the wealthy
Impoverish us all
While people remain the same

Seasons change
As does the land
But the basic principals
Stand the test of time
Battles fought
Battles lost
Hungering poor
Lumbering fools
Politicians play Loki
As they are want to do
Tricky Tricksters
With labors few
But the people remain the same

Err I ever asked
Such kindness
Of such a few
Remember as remembrance are due
The heroic
Is but a dream
That ignores
The stable things
Fathers and mothers
Working to take care
Whilst those in power
Are nary aware
Play us as chess pieces
Hold different agendas
Move as the wind will carry them
But the people remain the same
