THE RULING ELITE <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

The ruling elite don’t really care,
\nWhat poor people think, say or do,
\nThey have got their devilish plans,
\nAnd they will roll right over you.<\/p>\n

Though we complain, gripe and balk,
\nAnd tell them it is just not fair,
\nThey box us in and enslave our lives,
\nWith pressures we cannot bear.<\/p>\n

They’ve been at it for many years,
\nWorld domination is their one goal,
\nThey bleed our last drop of blood,
\nThrough global economic control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
