Hypocrites Abound, and I’m Being Rhetorical…

...Am I wrong? Is there always a mad man
Exploiting for gain, ignoring weak shouts
For tender mercy? Weaponizes an army,
The mouths of cronies and the capitol
Of the controlling two percent; a mockery
Of freedom and tattered democracy amid
Any psychopath’s egomaniacal tyranny?

Where are the men when women bunker, babes
Strapped, in would be rubble graves, if we
Do not unite axis powers and restore peace?
When politics cozies with corporate lobby
To leverage and barter for what they trade
In the name of humanity and justice, ironic
on 'Wall' Street. Rich astronomically richer,
We suffer the indignity of paying more for
Food, rent and gasoline to line those pockets.

Meanwhile, mortars level the helpless aground.
Elite hide and diversify a fortune to escape
To billion dollar bunkers, while taxpayers fleeced.
Where is our hatch to the underground before
Another nuclear winter whites out a dying planet?
Peace, not of mind, or for all, is what they sell.
Women and children first, indeed, amongst mad men.
