Do the Powerful People Call the Shots?
Who Decides?
LINES: 22


Injustice? Who decides what is
unfair, corrupt, cruel, biased

Who decides
which of us is exploited, suppressed?

All unjust acts, yes, in my eyes
but in Reality…

Who are the arbiters?
Who decides these things?

Laws are redefined, rejiggered
by Fiat of the Power People

"Injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere.
We are caught in an inescapable
network of mutuality, tied in a
single garment of destiny”,

Martin Luther King said so eloquently.
“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."

The question remains:
Who decides these things?

Yes, God has the final say…
but until then, in the Here and Now…
Who decides?
