There is no cabal

There is no cabal

Everybody wants to rule

Greed is a global currency

Power is a given

For some

A wish fulfillment for many

Why do you believe

In dominion

When guaranteed protection

Against loss

Is a satisfactory endgame

There are too many variables

For the few

To remain hidden

Power is always fleeting

It can be switched on and off

At the terminal

Somebody new

Always ready to blow a fuse

There is an energy

A synergy created

To ensure cooperation

Corporation is a legal term

People are inconsistently

Predictable

Outliers more trouble

Than their worth

The spark of freedom

Is fanned

By disbelievers

Conspiracies are convenient

Tropes

With which to occupy

The troops,

Whilst the brokers

Play power games

Without limits

Or frontiers

Insurrectionists fight

Each other

For the scraps they leave

Upon the floor.
