Redundant Applications Abused

It can be reluctantly admitted,
Those oppressed can not be blamed...
For current actions that shame,
Those with conquests that are being suppressed.
An infighting has heightened,
And exposes a lack...
Of togetherness confessed.

It is a mess that has been created,
To satiated individual greed.
Seams held tight in strict confidence...
Has loosened the lips of those once mummed!
A collective mindset held...
Is leaving them all accountably stung!

They can not use statistics...
To blitz their selfishness!
With redundant applications abused,
Their confusion now ignites...
Battles they fight with no relief in sight!

As those divided stop to comprehend...
What has been going on,
From a beginning that comes to defeat,
Those who used 'peace'...
As a methodic scheme to leech,
In a pathetic public way
That comes to betray before it ends!
