Humanity doesn't change

To succeed is improbable
no matter what they say.
Progression an impossibility
separated in society,
a boundary, a border.
Keep the weak at bay.

Dictatorships are ever present,
a God who leads the men.
No equal chance for everyone,
its always left to fate.
Education doesn’t help
if a child is born a slave.
The cards you’ve been dealt,
shouldn’t fuel you with hate.

If the people are the power
then why is life so hopeless?
No free rides, no hand outs,
you don’t amount to much.
No help from the bigger fish
to fit inside the pond.
The people can’t develop
without some straws to clutch.

A flame within has died,
fiery passion caving in.
Have you tried your hardest,
or are you just concealed?
A double negative in society,
still no positives are born.
The establishment has spoken,
Humanity’s fate is sealed.
I believe TecTak's comments are pretty good... It doesn't seem like you've considered your line breaks and grammar enough. A line break doesn't mean the end of a sentence. The poem is very terse and abstractions don't leave you with much. Perhaps you could include a simple story... Good Luck.
