People can only thrive on this wealth scale
With undying faith, we admire our flag
Sullen calm and dearth of prowess prevail.

Just few people groove stanch affluence gale
whilst most all strive tough with null in the bag
People can only thrive on this wealth scale.

We are rivaled with a stern choice trial
A person's rank is viewed by his wealth tag
Sullen calm and dearth of prowess prevail.

Trading rule exceeds all neat deals for sale
Where smash checkers are, indeed, rulers slag
People can only thrive on this wealth scale.

There is a fictive guise dubbed classless tale
Though, our right of recourse has little brag
Sullen calm and dearth of prowess prevail.

With their bogus pledge to clear off our lag
A plush caste is riding blindly as swag
People can only thrive on this wealth scale
Sullen calm and dearth of prowess prevail.

Dear Sotto, this is such an impeccable take for the contest, conveying the depth of s very deep and delicate topic. You've expressed everything in such a profound way in this villanelle poem whilst giving the meaningful essence. I am truly amazed by your artistic prowess how you are able to deliver the insight of all this, in a poetic way.Sadly, wealth has overpower morals and values and you've truly depicted this in an impactful way. "We are rivaled with a stern choice trial"Absolutely powerful

What a profound and meaningful write this is dr sotto. Sadly this is true and you see past all that and convey them through poetry in such an eloquent manner. Seems like rhymes come easy for you. You do them always in a unique way. I especially love “‘We are rivaled with a stern choice trial A person's rank is viewed by his wealth tag Sullen calm and dearth of prowess prevail.” Well said so powerful! Absolutely love this poem so well crafted. With such soul hitting truths. Best wishes always
