Humanity’s Pyramid

The human race

has fallen from grace.

Driven by greed

we live beyond need.

*

We’re all subservient

to the One in the sky

and self-proclaimed appointees

who won’t share the pie.

*

Arrogance and deception

abound in stratified society.

No one pays heed

to those in need.

No one gives a hoot

for the common boot.

*

No matter how wealthy,

everyone feels poorer than he

who flies high above the sky

to experience zero gravity,

at great expense to society.

*

There’s a ladder we climb

because higher we want to go

consuming mindlessly to stay in toe,

for downward nobody wants to go.

*

We hurt each other and humanity

when we stratify society.

The pyramids of Egypt are still there

but those who built them are nowhere!
