the faces of fools



The black dogs still get the bones
They still bark no worry about tomorrow
Now on the opposite bank to watch
In the shadows afraid to stay close

They realize the heyday has gone
They will have to lick their wounds
When the final bones are distributed
They will face a bleak future

Now they don’t care about tomorrow
They still want to bite and cart away
Helping the warlords to stay relevant
Though they know they will be history

The black dogs on the opposite fence
They shout and show their placards
The faces of making fool of themselves
Doing the hard work but get peanuts
