power in limited hands
in faceless corporations
wealth in a shrinking few
in this nation of freedoms
a shrinking few
controlling the levers
a growing many
standing in the streets
a tide will rise
if not today then tomorrow
seeking true justice
equality for all
a time will come
when a shrinking few
will wonder what they could
have done
when they were in charge
