A Government of Greed

Somewhere there is hidden...
Amongst the walls protection from within. 
The many secrets to a lifetime 
And the courage for a battle win.

A battle of insecurities 
Brought about by hate & greed. 
A nation of nasty hunger 
On which the richer bastards feed. 

In government as they sit so wealthy
Getting richer by each day.
As us poor beings of their cruelty
Has no final word or say.

New laws to take more money
Taxing everything they can.
But be it if I had my way
It's their filthy rich pockets I would tan.

No rules nor votes get taken
Into account of how we individually feel.
Just another contradiction 
Of what fats are truly real.

Bur I won't be a party 
To be with the voters tribes.
I've used up all my energy on family
And its the most rewarding of all prides.
