Swirling Waves Of Change

When social revolution sweeps the land
we surf swirling waves of change to maintain
lithe balance between energy and form
to channel rage through political laws
which revitalize progress in strong growth
while conserving traditional design.

Though institutions of strong government
have been assembled over centuries
to channel forceful energy of lust
through official systems of lawful rights,
they can be manipulated by greed
to enrich the powerful with our wealth.

Responding to aggressive grasp for power,
that rich men in the past assert to build
structures of wealth that too favor their rights,
we construct systems of fair governance
to spread wealth back to base essential workers
who labor most to create profit we share.

When oligarchs attain too much control
over vast institutions of the state,
and openly pilfer wealth we create
to benefit themselves at our expense,
we raise revolution of civil rights
to adjust flow of wealth back to the people.

Wise leaders who respect the common man
follow example of Jesus the Christ
to overthrow rich men who own too much
with honest attention to humble needs,
then approve contracts of hardworking men
to farm fertile fields with laborious pride.

All civilizations of vast empires,
organized by wise priests with expertise
to manage estates of crop fields and herds,
are based on hard work of the common man
extracting produce from bountiful Earth
and distributing goods in market halls.

Bankers fund ranches, farms, and factories
with speculative capital of wealth
so workers create goods from raw materials,
while merchants market and distribute goods,
but government clerks in judicial courts
manage contracts to insure fair rewards.

If rich owners feast while poor owners starve,
oppressing hungry people of the land
as the few hoard wealth while the many work,
we must reset state political system
to eradicate greed of tyranny
and maintain freedom of democracy.
