When a masquerader chases you,
whip-clad:
Just persevere as
there’s no monopoly of fatigue:
It happens to earthlings,
just like extraterrestrials!
There’s this peace,
silence – graveyard-like!
While few moneybags enjoy
commonwealth!
Poverty-ridden majority –
live in squalor!
Few escape into refugeedom!
Majority attempt escaping,
squalid life,
organizing, mobilizing
into groups fighting
for release from domination
by impostors!
Combatants are jailed,
prisoners of war killed!
Masses thrown into everlasting
fiefdom!
Landlords flaunt ill-gotten
spoils! While underpaid masses
hunger and,
pay for land,
while unequally yoked!
Perseverance’s just for sometime,
with organizations springing up
for masses release
from evil griphold!
