Authority

To Lord belongs the lands we lease
In His forests we cut the trees
We own His rain we tax His wind
From farmers we collect the fees

We are the ones who "moved your cheese"
Sucked your blood like the fleas
He who objects we lock in jail
And shoot him dead as he flees

Soldiers defend us like the bees
For us their life pulses shall cease
Child and adult, male and female
We hurt, we exploit, we tease

We run the world as we please
Your income tax we increase
To fill our ranks the criminals
From prisons shall we release

I liked the stanza about soldiers, defending our lives, they sacrifice their lives for us. And the poem sets us thinking about our attitude towards each other - all the bad things that we do - we hurt and exploit, and tease, and what not. And our attitude towards nature is irresponsible. It's good that there are people who raise these issues. Thanks for the poem.
