James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Blinkered By Greed

Lots of hands held over a candle
In angst fuelled bravado this Winter
No prisoners taken will there be
For many young and old will splinter

Knowing this sadness could delve deeper
With our horizon blinkered by greed
To boost the coffers of the rich elite
Whilst others struggle with daily feeds

Is there going to be a way out of this
As the inevitable carnage that'll be left
Or will anarchy be the nail in the coffin
It's not nuclear that'll leave its reft.

Michael Tor October 10, 2022 at 7:44 PM Very true James time will tell. Your support and love for humanity shines in this truth in your Poetry. The Elite say we will have nothing and be happy. I say to them you know nothing and hell awaits you...
