The Hand That Has Gold

There has been a shift

a paradigm shift

where values were once held high

now wealth rises high

with the power seeking wealth

the hand which has the gold

sets the rule of the land in a crescendo

The golden rule as we may call

being imposed by people of tall

that be of not physical height

but relying on the money’s weight

they order and gather the points

regardless of their validity

growing in stature beyond anybody’s capture.

Those few who wish to remain aloof

rather not to like to be subdued

stand straight and righteous all the more

being eschewed from the stream and tide

by the anointed lobbyists  with a contempt

they being shelved to  a seclusion

denied of their pleasant and of their pleasure

being doomed to penury and to non recognition
