Those who want, say, “we need”

Those who have, say, “we bleed”

Some who are desperate plead “we need”

Yet those in power confess their greed.

 

“We need food!”

They hear the chorus cry.

“We need medicine”

They watch them die.

 

“We need help”

They turn away.

“We need workers!”

No one’s left to be a slave.

 

Be careful at the top.
