It All Depends

A hand holds a blade
anything can happen
crops can be harvested
corpses can be made
it all depends on
the hand holding a blade

Someone with money
all can’t be spent
do they hold it like Midas
or give it like the life of Jesus
it all depends on
someone with money

All men are created equal
That’s what wise men said
to start a free country
for the people by the people
yet the poor hold no office
so is it true then that
All men are created equal

A hand holds a holy book
inside, what can be found
Souls can be saved
money can be made
it all depends on
the hand holding a holy book

A man holds a gavel
His heart starts to harden
as every evil walks before him
how long can he see innocence
it all depends on 
the man holding a gavel

A man has a badge
authority is invested
money by DUI’s and tickets
no money in stopping crimes
how long till the law enforcer
with gun in hand, becomes the law
it all depends on
the man with a badge

A man holds office
to protect and serve
it used to be all the people
now its some of the people
his investors and contributors
his business and political interests
we are statistics, no one of importance
thinks a man who holds office



someone has an addiction
what’s the worst
Coke and crack
Heroine and ecstasy
Money and power
it all depends on
the one who is addicted

So true. Power can lead us to greatness or corruption, it all depends on how we decide to use it. I thought that this was a well written poem

This is what I am here for.

This poem declares so much about choices in a world where, in the end, most decisions are based on the heart or the wallet.

There is plenty about you in this piece, isn't there? Sounds to me that way.

And you took the righteous path.

Well done

Kind regards

Very well done.

Good perspective.

A lot of the poetry that I read is one-sided, probably weighing on the experiences of the writer, and that's okay. But I like your two-sided poetry.
