Champagne and Crumbs

Champagne for a few, crumbs for the many.
Was this really the plan?

The business of weapons fueling wars
sung as necessity by keyboard whores.
Injustice dressed in many names
to parade, distract and entertain.
Truth wearing shackles, designer chains,
behind sparkling bars in a rusty game.
Beauty finds ways to light the cracks
to guide the steps of sharpened facts.
Life nourishes love’s basic power
uniting hearts to storm greed’s tower.
