The System

We all fight to succeed.
No matter even if we don't believe.
We strike even out of greed.

Those who only deceive,
Just can't see.
Why we despise thee.
When they overlook you or me.
We band together to become free.

Most overlook the lower end of the tree.
But what if some sprout to a higher degree.
Would they then look down on me?
Or would they act the same as they used to be?

These elites ruin our society.
Controlling and trapping those in poverty.
An endless cycle of disparity.
To where they control the global industry.

Can't you see what they've done to me?
They've altered what I was meant to be.
