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
