hoarding shiny diamonds
poverty of soul

Yes it is a pitiful shame, and the wealthy cannot see a thing wrong with that. Thanks Shirley for sharing this plain truth for anyone to see, if they had any compassion. Agape, Moses

Congratulations on your lovely Senryu being Featured Shirley. I know it is confusing for many to know the difference between Senryu and Haiku. So nice that you are aware of that difference. Your last line really ties up this gem with a bright bow! Aloha, Connie
