Majority Rules
So very high and mighty
upon your stepping stool
belief you are of greater value
simply because you rule
Born of privilege
of this you cannot ignore
built solely on the backs
of the needy and the poor
Reaping benefits
meant only for a few
Assuming superior
from an obscured view
Disadvantaged
no capacity for compassion
pretending you are worthy
based on the clothes you fashion
All that was provided
only makes you weak
lacking skills to discover
the more of which you seek
Greed will be your downfall
knowing not how to survive
without your luxuries
you shall fail to thrive
Society owes no dues
no obligation exists
you will not hold your ground
If the majority resists
upon your stepping stool
belief you are of greater value
simply because you rule
Born of privilege
of this you cannot ignore
built solely on the backs
of the needy and the poor
Reaping benefits
meant only for a few
Assuming superior
from an obscured view
Disadvantaged
no capacity for compassion
pretending you are worthy
based on the clothes you fashion
All that was provided
only makes you weak
lacking skills to discover
the more of which you seek
Greed will be your downfall
knowing not how to survive
without your luxuries
you shall fail to thrive
Society owes no dues
no obligation exists
you will not hold your ground
If the majority resists
