brilliant poem TF, respect.
governments and countries are run by the money men, bankers, billionaires, industrialists. regardless of how much say we the common people are told we have, at the end of the day (and i hate that saying) it's the guys (and gals) that sign the cheques that call the shots. whether it's lending money to fund a war or refusing to grant a mortgage because you're in the wrong profession!
if the people that had all the billions gave just a quarter of it, world debt could be a thing of the past. and poverty in what is laughingly termed the "developed countries" could be eliminated. but they'd rather blow it on private jets, ferraris and private islands. it suits them to keep the poor....poor.
ask one question, who are those nuclear bunkers for? not us, we're cannon fodder. it's for the governments and billionaires that will (?) start the new world.
sorry if you've had to read this, but it's off my chest now and i feel better.
