Power of the People

Render not unto the Caesars
Of this world, religious fanatics
Politicians, idle dreamers
And perverted idealists
The power of the people,
Those simple folks
Who with their blood
Sweat and honest labor
Build our cities,
Work our farms,
Man our factories
And sevice our needs,
Let not those honest, decent
Men and women be perverted
And ruined by preachers
Spouting religious nonsense
Or fall prey to
Warmongers and politicians,
Those power elite predators
Who with their phony platitudes
Create the decadence, poverty
And world wide warfare
Which destroys
The very fabric of our society.
