The Men In Suits

The men in suits
Light a fire

They pretend to be enemies
Though they really are the best of friends

Every move, watching the world,
Burn to flames

Public protests for garbage, whilst
Many are killed, destroyed, silenced
Criminals live in wonderland
Innocents are framed
 
Candles burn but like phoenixes, rebirthing from melted wax,
This world is burning, but nothing melts

This is a very powerful poem with impeccable wordplay and reflects so much angst about those criminals living in wonderland and the innocents being sacrificed everytime.. Sigh, quite a thought-provoking one! I love that last line as well..
