The Morality Behind Empires
For someone to win,
Someone has to lose,
For someone to pay,
Someone has to choose,
For someone to eat,
Someone has to die,
For someone to move,
Someone has to lie,
For someone to conquer,
Someone has to fall,
And for one to be smaller,
Two have to be tall,
The morality of empires,
Resides in the indirect flows,
Of living and dead,
Of who stays and who goes,
Is not right as per rights,
Nor wrong as per see,
Is like things are,
And how they'll be,
About hipocrisy,
Now this is another line,
It can't be bought as a ten,
If delivers only the nine,
Because empires are killers and rulers,
And that is what it is to it,
And all already assumed their part,
Except for that tiny bit,
That won't change the big picture,
Although I can see it is hard,
For you to assume war and money,
Instead of a stripe and a star,
I'm saying the morality of empires,
Is against being the hero,
Cause you can't bear a clean slate,
When your body count isn't zero,
I can accept that main power,
Actually belongs to you,
But don't expect me to believe,
You're good 'cause you say I'm dull,
I don't wanna hear you're my savior,
Cause you're far from being that one,
If you think you can sell that behavior,
Dude, you're doing it wrong,
Be what you're meant to be,
And have balls to assume you are so,
Because if you want us to love you,
You're missing your glorious main goal,
You taking 'cause you got more power,
Well, that I can understand,
But you chaining me in name of freedom,
Now that I won't stand
I felt thrilled at the power of how you write: 'Chaining me in name of freedom Now that I won't stand.' Bravo!
The White man's World is a LIE... how great of you to have expressed your opinion on this. I too feel the same way. Write on fellow poet.
