Power Circles Only Power Survives
I guess the means to be mean turn a being cold as ice
the unseeing witnesses see the unseen or be sacrificed
as wealth brings you power only over those who are poorer in life
it stands and it towers but stays weak to the powers at towering heights
to whom wealth is a game whereas power they claim is a God given right
one acquired by knowledge not for good or for horrid but the unseeing eye
through a web they all weave welcoming wealth believed to be a similar type
who operate in their circles without power to purchase true positions of might
just wealth to be servants in view on the surface if suspicions arise
preserve the integrity of the powerful entities kept out of clear sight
trusted with the access that comes with a death wish such power provides
wealth which knows power only brings about power of a powerless plight
when secrets you keep to blackmail or to leak will exploit all that they hides
when your enemies can do as they please overpowering your fight
so you’ll be like Epstein before you come clean they’ll turn out your light
when knowledge of the powerful threatens the powerful, you’ve no power nor life
thinking you live with an insight to give is a grave oversight
