Analysis of Outside The We-Dom



Outside and nowhere on maps to appear.
Is the we-dom.
An exclusive united Kingdom.
Only the elite,
Come and go.
No one knows beyond themselves.
Who pulls the strings and controls.
Those they pick to choose,
To perform and do what they say...
And obey the rules to protect their interests.
By any means necessary.
With decisions they make.
Done to follow whatever they wish,
Introduced to create.

Celebrate they do,
Inside or outside their private we-dom.
In a we-dom to do done.
Behind or beyond closed to open doors.
Nobody knows who they are to identify.
And this is meant to implement,
A doing to please them most.
While they donate, endorse and support,
Whomever they select done to pledge...
An allegiance, devotion and loyalty.
Regardless of political or religious affiliation.
It is the we-dom and no one else...
Who receives from the elite we-dom that gets,
To sit at the pinnacle of leadership.
With those lower in class and status had,
Will never come to know...
Why those they elected to vote as leaders.
Are no different than a sneeze,
Believed heard to hear...
From an entertainment puppet.
Actually comes from a hidden puppeteer.
Pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Suffering with allergies.
Including the dust,
Coming from home-made wooden puppets!
From wooden puppets.
Taken out of a box to perform.
Outside the We-Dom to do done!
