Super Rich
All money in the world has become mine
my coffers are all bursting at the seams
Can't count it, for I do not have the time
I know there's more than in my wildest dreams.
There's gold dust all around me, everywhere
not stacked up in a vault in tidy bars
to step upon it barefoot I never dare
this unforgiving surface, planet Mars.
Refuge I've taken here my tent I pitched
more Oxygen and food sent every week
we order it online, we super rich
to those with less than me I do not speak.
My telescope is aimed straight at the Earth
where everyone is poor, all day they moan
whilst I who could not ever wish for more
must sit here day by day and wish alone.
For contest 'If you were rich, where would you live and why?'
