Down They Keep Me Low-

Down keep me low I don't understand political systems Why there are for some people about the people but themselves Why the rich get richer stay rich and are truly I truly they're not helping all else Why why are they blocking blending bland and recommend So why most of all why is politics so divided Why are there so many uncertainties they call assurances Why was there wrongs not on their side and their side is always right What I understand most is why the middle class the working yet stays rich accomplished why buy into the considering rhetoric proper system keeping two classes casses I got yours and I got mine my life is fragile I like broken glasses Down politicians keep me low They get my vote and then they don't show It's not about me it's all about them Yet we keep on voting them in Yeah, and what do you know Down they keep me low 3/5/21 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021

Correct, this system they have created is full of dehumanisers whom only desire money and job positions, role modelling vanity and ego- not a wonder why there is so many people problems today! great poem which I'm sure most can relate !
