Privileged and Compradors

Hopes of happiness
to the people many
Independence brought
With end of empires
The new rulers came
And they had created
The new privileged one
Internal colonialism
Intra-nation disparities
And the exploitation
In the name of leading
Communities and nations
The have's prospered
Few compradors too
The nexus in many kinds
Made laws as puppets
To subserve privileged
Have-not's their means
Of business, politics
Liberty and equality
Equity and prosperity
Law and good governance
Freedom brought seldom
While still await them
We see them in parts
In most nations around
Suppressing the interests
Of have-not, vulnerables
In so many ways and means
For the privileged ones
And their compradors!
