Poems about greed by top critiquers. Poems written by members who have given lots of feedback to other poets this month.
Self Absorbed, Slave to Time
Slave to big business
Handcuffed to an I-phone
I hate you and your kind
Guts burning
Late for his big tech meeting
Sweating through his shirt as he runs down West Ave to catch up with time
If he was asked if he ever thinks about his life he would tell you that he doesn't have the time
He's the type that gave at the office and doesn't want to get involved
This is the ultimate parasite to our remaining free world

anarchy
anger arcs and peaks
wicked verses escape me
vertigo of the soul
escalating in the revolution of the world
here we go kids
time to wake up
unveil your face
we're entering into a different zone
ride the elevator all the way down
the hierarchy is in control
deciding who comes and goes
buckle up the ride has just begun
a sickle gathers souls
the machine is conquering and dividing
a mass deception meant to divert your attention
look what's happening under your nose
you're going to vote ...

After Work at the Bar
She liked teasing
I liked being teased
She was my part-time secretary
Big tits, nice lingerie, morals free
Perfect for me
She always needed cash
Come pay day I'd flip her a twenty
She'd get real close
Unbutton her blouse slowly
Invite me to cop a feel
She needs a raise I thought
Friday nights after work
We'd all get wasted at the bar
She'd slide in real close
Sometimes go to the back booth
The make out spot
You could smell the desire
The couple before us
Left a scent of desperation ...

Jealousy!!
Jealousy as it seems looking threw eyes of the oppressed, those struggling filled with envious dreams.
Have nots with no plots and plans goals of recovering stolen land, new outlets for future advancement, runs rampant in the minds of those who want,
Not knowing what they need only to fall victim to their own greed, drinking from a cup full of misery only to realize the wealthy and filthy rich wish they can be in opposite places less stress with no cases, ironically, defiantly, dimensionally trading places, only to find your mind soul in a different body an yet with still the...

Profiting From Fear
boomtown pandemic
everything sold
with fear
old con men
new opportunities
targeted
vulnerabilities
nothing off limits
when it comes to
creating easy money
no missed oppertunity
taking a mark
its about
feeding these anxieties
pressing buttons
that rip past
protective barriers
normally in place
your friendly
neighbourhood
virus
unlocks reason
making the perfect
21st century victim

Broken Goverments
Goverments are broken
because of the Covid 19 Era
We need to fix this now
Because we are living in
Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Which is of has destroyed
small businesses because
of the frenzy and our
goverments try to help
but they are stuck
within the corruption
of the system
So when are the
machines taking over
to bring us into
Judgement Day

Border Patrol
This world is at war;
it dreams of security within walls
snaking invisible lines
between a bloody Babylon
of foreign dialect
I reminisce about poetry
old cities and moonlight—
sacrosanct altars in worship
between a collarbone and lips;
a final culture of pleasure
under a microscopic watch;
stay close, keep the faith—
lest a border be built between Us;
were not our ancestors strangers ...

Darkened Nature
Can you lie awake with me tonight
I hear the scratches in the walls
Hell is trying to get out into the light
It wants to know all of yall
Can you feel the darkness as it surrounds
Yes that is your heart beating like a fucking drum
The world is bleeding all around
We all want to see Hell come, want to see Hell come
The ocean just burped micro particles of plastic
Garbage island isn’t a myth it’s a fucking fact see
No one wants to take responsibility for the oceans being so tragic
They act as if all of the ocean’s pollution...

Asking Jeeves
In nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves
gathering thieves of old men and hooters
conceived by the winds screaming solo
knuckles and stones rising what lingers
over graves of poets in herringbone
a thundering herd of narcissistic birds
wearing spit-shined shoes and stilettos
in nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
asking Jeeves for a shoehorn
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves
gathering thieves of old men and hooters
conceived by the winds screaming solo
knuckles and stones rising what lingers
over graves of poets in herringbone
a thundering herd of narcissistic birds
wearing spit-shined shoes and stilettos
in nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
asking Jeeves for a shoehorn

The Proud Politician
he stands in the halls of power
standing tall and proud
he is a shining star
a champion for the people
his smile looks sincere
his gestures are compassionate
a beacon of hope for the future
but all are pretentiously deceptive
a charmer who kisses babies
kiss the hands of the elderly
shed tears when someone dies
is it the loss of votes you regret
he soothes the masses
with his smooth voice
promises to cure all ills
and to build cities of utopia
pretentious politician quit...

weeds
the homeless grow like weeds in a post
apocalyptic garden
corporate America crawling so far up
our governments ass that not even
a nuclear enigma can unblock their
shit
lies, misinformation seeding confusion,
the plague and power of social
media
in AI. the dead will
not remain dead...
the dead will be reconstructed,
reconstituted, rearranged for
the pleasures of the stinking
bored masses
facts will become like candles blown
dead on stale birthday
cake
then...
