Rich man
You gorged yourself
from golden platter
with silver spoon
you had your fill
slurped sweetest wine
from finest crystal
while other people
feed on swill
You own limousines
and private jets
in beds you sleep
on satin sheets
with whores you lay
while others starve
don't give a damn
about their needs
And yet with all
you seem to have
with all those riches
plump and plenty
entertainment
wine and dine
your gut is full
your heart is empty

I have observed them close up myself, yet never got too personal. Good to keep a distance.
Thanks for the read Bkitty

Thanks for adding me to your RL....always an honor.
I don't want to eat them though....they give me indigestion.

It does eliminate the middleman, though... and I hear they make a good burger Ely

We need to tenderize them first, maybe that will make it more palatable at least.

So true and u said it in an awesome impressive hard hitting way. The rich man spends in a rapacious way indeed. Your rhyme scheme and content is also noteworthy here. I have an unposted poem against such wealthy vulgarity and pomp too. Will post it here as well someday. Kudos.

a true bomb
for it blows up
explodes

breaking all sense of delusions
about 'their version' of reality, truth
Hard hitting ink Ange...
kudos.

I'd rather know someone with a full heart and empty pockets than full pockets and an empty heart. Wonderful

Very true Timagination... I feel blessed that I was not born into that kind of wealth. It is by no means desirable for me. Thank you for the read and comment.

Simon and Garfunkel's "Richard Cory", later covered by McCartney and Wings, pops into my head. Also songs by Don Henley and Neil Young. Capitalism in the fast lane,with no regard for humanity.

I see, your mind works in musical terms. I get that sometimes myself. Thank you for stopping by.

Such is the "curse" of a recreational musician who teaches at the elementary level.

Yes indeed. That rich dude should give a fair amount of his unneeded money to charity. Or the NHS, lol. ;-)

These guys usually make their money by exploiting somebody or being involved in dishonest and dishonorable affairs. That's where the shit starts. I could go on bitchin'
for hours....
Thanks for stopping by Billy

Angel,
I like the way you write, and I like how you care about the world(and it's indecency).
Very nice.
Matthew.
