Power to the powerful
Power to the popular
Poverty to the populace
Poverty to the peasants

Power to the Pilates
Power to the proud
Poverty to the people
Poverty to the poor

Power to the pompous
Power to the poisonous
Poverty to the pathetic
Poverty to the pious

Power to the Pharoahs
Power to the politricksians
Poverty to the peaceful
Poverty to the pitiful.

Truly yours,

That often quoted line from Orwell's '1984' springs to mind;

'A boot stamping on a human face forever'.

With any luck the callous powers that be will not remain that way eternally. Nice use of alliteration - thanks for your poem!

Thank you @lazarus-wist.
Surely,

...the callous powers that be will not remain...

One of the many problems of humanity is as a result of terrible leadership.
