The Elite
We have given them everything they desired, and more!
We demanded nothing in return.
Their wishes were granted,
Their demands met,
Their freedom total,
Their rudeness ignored.
Game, Set, and Match!
They win, we lose!
They have too much, too easily,
They need not strive, they know not how.
On a silver spoon we serve them,
We succumb to them,
We spoil and pamper them, and then,
We criticize them!
A person who knows not strife,
Cannot grasp the meaning of life.
If he has no cause worth fighting for,
Then, he is empty, without meaning,
With no ambitions, no culture, no beliefs, and,
No Future.
Tradition is dead!
“Respect” a foreign element.
Let us seek a new approach,
Before the well runs dry,
Before the dream turns into a nightmare!
Game! Set! Match! They win, again,
We lose !!!!
