Through the sands of time it has been
with us
It rejects the good
It embraces the worst
It is ignorant to a point
And wise with a drop of lime
It has been corrupted by greed,
religion, ignorance and self want
It has oppressed the brilliant, the
weak, the emotional and the mighty
It has soared seeds of discord
Infringes on the rights of the
oppressed
Been used for self gain
Been used for wealth
Been used to oppress the society
It has been used in arguments
It has been used to keep out progress
It is a thorn in the flesh of
everyone’s breast
