People Like You

People like you

People in power
People in the tower
People on the hill
People who kill
Mothers who cry
People sent to die
Politicians lie
To people like you

People who mourn
People are born
People are meat
Top people cheat
People who vote 
For people who gloat
Nothing you can do
For people like you
