A Vicious Faith.

Another day, another poem.

A Vicious Faith.

Pecuniary priests, the canons of faith dictate;

from pulpits of financial cathedrals proclaim

humanity must accept its fate

pawns in a free market game.

Its laws immutable,

its march inevitable,

a system with a purpose of its own,

human freedom expendable,

the mighty dollar on the throne.

Human need sacrificed to greed

all power to the market place,

you who make the people bleed

the scriptures of profit embrace;

your system breeds voracity

showers gold on a worthless few,

to the common-man aridity

the beauty of life all askew.

Raise loud your ritual chants

as all freedom you try to sever,

to your system our poverty yields,    But tyrants,

be warned,   our hearts,-----------never.

The Inevitable Fall Of Empires.

         Empires come and empires go and the mighty dollar empire is no different. Its global reach is still there, but its power is somewhat weakened. The wounded empire of the Soviet Union has evolved into a Russian force, China has grown to become the second largest economy on the planet and still growing. The other "empire" that is growing and is possibly the greatest threat to the power of the  the dominant economic empires, is the "empire" of the people. Across the globe people are rising up against the power policies of profit and growth, which impoverishes millions of ordinary people. Country after country take to the streets in an attempt to throw off yoke of economic enslavement. This can only grow as the brutality and greed of the parasite empires becomes more blatant and ruthless, as they make their feverish grasp for survival.

This from The Vast Majority: 

 

      As the global uprising against its hated neoliberal system spreads like wildfire, it is only a matter of time before we see the fall of the US empire.
