Paper Tigers

People with power are always certain.
Unmarred by doubt or even called curtains.

The humble ground has the actual clue.
Touched & tested by evidences true.

So, why does the tip-top lead the bottom?
Ask for a billion reasons…they got ‘em.

Rubber meets roads in the poorest places.
Where folks don’t cheat & no one has aces.

All power has is green paper & lies.
All power wants is to not let us rise.

Money ain’t bodies & there’s more of us.
That’s why elections make power nonplussed.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
