House Of Cards

One cannot collapse
this house of cards
when one
is only a few
shouting within
the ignorance

of the Silent
Weak willed
Majority

One cannot collapse
this house of cards
for they are strong
but there are those
within
who are
a little wise
keeping their powder dry
waiting
for the inevitable day
when this house of cards
collapses
into the rivers
Of Our Blood

History we know
tells us so
Arrogance and Greed
never wins
Just destroys
all the things
we try to build
for our kids
but the circle reflects
within the rivers
of our blood
Allowing
Greed
once more to grow
like an arrogant mold
on the broken bones
of heroes
that we forget
when we're offered
new sweets
that turn to dust
Everytime
we are silant
Everytime
We Sleep
