Thread

The thread
consistant but endless
hides between the warp
and weft of life.
Few persons
ever see it clearly
when they do
they use for their own gain.
Those unseeing
often poor, often ignorant
become the market
become the producers.
Seeing allows
the corporate, government
to fill their mouths
their pockets and their hearts.
How virtueous, how kind
they smile, they beam
telling us all
how lucky we are they lead.
We, poor souls
could not survive
without their
democracy, church, power.
