2. The Future Now (oh yes they did)

The Meglos finally did it,
their plots and plans,
turned politics into a business,
that only their close friends and family ran.

Law was no longer sought,
as a means for proving the truth,
verdicts were now bought,
by a handful of rich dudes.

The Ceez we were told,
knew the most about creating wealth,
but these CEOs,
didn’t mind destroying everybody else,

as long as profits were made,
and their boots retained loyalty,
but everyone was for sale,
so they were the best paid employees.

The Help covered up indiscretions,
sex scandals and wars,
drug running, fixed elections, and
experimenting on our fellow life forms.

Why not? They had the right.
They were the right, we were just civils,
We couldn’t stomach conflict or fights,
or protests or all night vigils.

Live and let live dudes,
we just wanted to do our thing,
but they did too,
except as kings and queens.

So eventually we let them,
how bad could that be?
Taxes pay for our protection,
trolling the world makes ‘em happy.
