Uninformed Ignorance

Those who are uninformed often irritate me
their voices like nails scratching a chalkboard.
Their lack of sympathy seems to be the key
as to why their ignorance strikes a chord.

The truth is out there, but one must be willing
to read a book, newspapers or even the internet
for one to uncover the facts behind all the killing
made to safeguard everyone's ever-growing debt.

Lives are destroyed and yet the fraud goes on
as families are bankrupted, tossed out of homes.
To those fat cats we're all just collateral, a pawn
that fattens their pockets as they rest on thrones.

Countless crooks walk free as they're too big to fail
never paying for their crimes; not a single day in jail.
