Kite
 
       Kites beautiful and
colourful  
       In all designs
shapes colours
       Just because are
flying high   
       In strong breeze
there in sky
       Raising just
floating dancing
       Rolling looping
also diving    
       Can't afford ever challenging 
       Kites flying high
in the sky
       Or mock at the men
below
       Just because they
don't fly!
 
       For they do fly
only because
       Specialists have
made them
       Knowledgeable
properly fix
       These to smoothly
fly high
       Skilled individuals
fly them
       And the threads or
twines
       Hold them firmly in
the sky 
       Even while floating
dancing
       Raising rolling
flying diving
       Right with the
flier in ground
 
       When they get off
or cut out
       Because of the poor
quality
       Thread twine broken
clean
       Some may be torn by
wind
       Cut by other
specialist’s kites
       Fliers run out of
the thread
       All their dance and
life end
       Go out off the
fliers control 
       Go down quick with
wind 
       Definitely fast to
the ground
 
        Like this many of
us around
        Now in offices of
advantage
        And big positions
of power
        Can only laugh and
dance
        Arrogantly show
off or shout
        Until they are in
the offices
        And in the
services of power  
        Out from their
chairs office
        They go down and fade off
        Like the support
less cut kite
 
        Such arrogant and
reckless
        Officials men and
women
        Quickly go down to
vanish 
        Worse than any of
the kites
        Faster than one
cut suddenly
        Which at least
float down
        Steadily gradually
in wind
        Too fast to even
see them
        Fade out gradually
to vanish 
        From worlds' whole vision!
