Still Peasants
By JFarrell
John Lennon wrote “you think you’re so clever, so classless and free, but you’re still f**king peasants, as far as I can see.”
Look around,
What do you see?
Wretches, kings, heroes, villans?
Look at the marvels we have made;
Buildings that reach the clouds,
Ships that can reach the moon,
Telescopes that can see the beginning of Everything;
We even split the atom,
And today, we’re creating particles.
We think we’re so clever;
We think we better ourselves;
So, why do we still work, slave-like,
Working all hours,
Just to survive?
Making rich people wealthier,
While we strive,
Harder and harder.
My friends,
We are not classless;
Though some may have the luck to make it big,
The vast majority of us
Will still be peasants.
