We the People |
We the people -
insignificant
in the grand scheme -
quietly colluding.
We the three monkeys -
no see, no hear, no speak.
Achieving a momentum
of minimal effort,
experts know how
to make us shovel
the guano in their back yards.
No charge, boss.
We the blockheads -
marginalized
because we too stand
awestruck at the altar
of the bottom line.
Ignorance does not absolve
us from the burden of accounting
when someone asks one day:
- and where were you?
