The Games of Mankind

Saw in the news today
Trials still go on
For the murder of lawmen
By pawns for times long gone

So many have suffered
For those in political power
Who sits from on high
In their golden towers

The pawns weak in their belief
Follows like rabid lambs
Lost in a scary fever
For a piece of disputed land

Whomsoever is in power though
Will have the final say
Whether the land returns to
Its people is another game they’ll play

For the average joe in the street
May fight tooth and nail for the cause
But when the time does come
They’ll be the ones to give pause

For they’ll be forgotten
In the games of mankind that’s played
For it’s all about money and power
The dreams a hook that’ll fade
