A Front Created

When the rich want more
the earth plunged in to despair
a front created
this usually a war...
we all weep for a hero

The rich are never satisfied, so much could be done but there it sits and they can't take it with them. What profits a man if he gains the whole world and lose his soul? You sure hit the nail on the head Harry! Love Lizzie

I thoroughly agree with the comments below. We all yearn for that leader that will bring despair down - or at least to a minimum. Nicely penned. Always, Laura
