Observations unrecognized

Alone in the night they drew lines in the sand,
By each gift from earth they wrote a demand.

As quick as they could they laid claim to the land,
Pushed Eden aside while their empires expand.

Passed down to their children one lesson in mind,
They would own and control till the end of time,

And to question this rule is plainly a crime,
Stick to your work and your life will be sublime.

Ten thousand years later as the rulers grew fat,
The world worked hard to keep them where they're at.

A child in the fields wipes sweat from his straw hat,
The story of life ...."feed the aristocrat"...

The rulers lay claim to things that don't exist,
And the starving child his problems persist.

His eyes open, NO LIES, he raises his fist,
No return on the life that he had missed.

Tattered and torn by the cost of his OWN LIFE,
He cries in the night and falls on his own knife.

No one will cry for one life that has been lost,
We will suffer the price that blindness has cost.
