IN THE COURTYARD OF THIRTY FAMILIES:

In the courtyard of

thirty masters-

of six thousand individuals-

eight billion souls live,

in the courtyard thirty

patrons,

from Arctic to Antarctica

from sunrise to sunset

humankind serve and

worship daily.

global space-

superclass control-

NewSpace-they create and

world collective wealth

they possess.

With a single bus-load of

world wealthy powerful souls

WWPS,

about five billion souls

had been robbed of their

possessions;

with sixty-four wealthy souls,

humankind is left with half of

world resources to share.

Through politicians,

superclass roar humankind

quiver,

through politicians,

superclass sneezes

mankind catches cold;

anytime they blast horn,

every soul stoop and

bow down.

From Tokyo through

Moscow to Beijing via

Bonn, Berlin, Paris, Brussels,

London, Rome, en route

New York, and Washington,

all Legislative Chambers and

Capitol Hills-they own.

Through surrogates

their desires become

inviolable decrees and edits,

which humankind  obey.

In boardrooms of owned

corporations,

by means of proxies-

paid executives-

these mortal lords

determine humankind’s fate;

by dint of policies and principles,

these human angels put

humanity in chain.

In religion-their myrmidons-

loyal friends-hold humankind

submissive to their desires and

wishes through unquestionably

obedience, fear, and damnation

Because of needs, wants, and

every day desires,

permanently, humankind

they put in plantations or

slave camps from sunrise to

sunset;

because of commercial

activities of demand and

supply,

indenture they force on

fellow humans.

Anytime humankind revolt,

they suppress by their cavalry,

anytime humankind wage war,

violence from stockpiled cannons,

they use to teach a lesson.

Once enemies are defeated,

harsh decrees and orders-

they roll out,

demanding more from defeated

without any compassion.

In this courtyard,

different laws, edits,

decrees, and codes

apply to different people,

one for royalty the other for

the plebeian.

When blue-blooded run afoul

of the law,

law is gentle, kind, and soft,

but when commoner does,

law runs full course with

corresponding punishment.

One world! One world! One world!

many social classes,

ranked by status of achievement,

controlled by the powerful.
