Strangled by the system
in a world of them and us
the rich
the poor
and them inbetween
It's only the rich
who know where they fit
The gap will widen in time, wealth distribution is a very fundamental issue that needs its own attention in this world The_African_Son
a thought provoking poem, when we try to perceive from different angle! Nice!
In a decomposed state we remain to experience this further falling apart. Long long before the systems came into these forms, something strategic should have been done. A truth can be traced again and again... Let this planet be blasted by any natural force 2013 for an act of levelling justice! I am sorry...
we are edging toward a two class society. the very rich and the very poor. not good. a point well taken.
Well written you have punctuated your poem with the truth Lovely.
Powerful, that last line really hits home the reality of this world, I think they know how to fit because they know how to take over the system the rich are smart, confident and driven to succeed at the expense of everything else, they covet the material so they seek the material. Writers generally see more gold in words then in things. this was truly gold. Short and sweet.
Well said, it takes all sorts, poor, those that feel rich and those that are.
