Appeasing Evil

Like the class warfare of the past
the robber barons
the march of Hitler
across Europe
or maybe the words
of Marie Antoinette
Let them eat cake
those in the dust

Appeasing evil
holding onto our treasure
compromising with the devil
holding our mettle
allowing the tyrants
the rich, the powerful
to have the final say
to dictate injustice
the reckoning will come
the callow with the evil
needing to stand up
to say no to this deal
