In angry, despairing, ground down, minds and bodies at odds with self; sadly not melded
Mass mental poverty, anguish and frustration: Is this the grand scheme and plot?
Festering, untempered minds, harvested nefariously by sociopaths, lacking an iota of human care
Fodder, for the crocodile-infested, muddy waters of unjust systems, served up, in a darkening world
Easily played marionettes in malevolent, unwinnable racial, religious and political warfare
Their God-given vision of a fruitful and worthy life, reduced to a non-stop death-courting, dervish whirl.

The undermined and under-served, left to drift, like unanchored, flotsam and jetsam
Their plight, a mockery of heady, dizzying anthems, glorifying folk and country. It's sheer bedlam!
As fascistic leaders pour trillions into war budgets, they callously crow and bark -
No government handouts! Pull yourself up by the bootstraps!
Whilst, billionaire bros, Bezos and Branson, in their vain space race, glory in joy rides for a lark
On earth, the hapless unshod, run around dead-end trails, doing endless laps
Gates of higher education, shut tight, opening only to the chink, clank and ping of cold, hard coin
Allowing the monied and creditworthy, to pass through their ivory towers; others deemed just dross
Student loans, an albatross, for which would-be scholars, must gird their loins
