My Riches Rimas Dissolutas

Creating a harsh blinding glow, 
called everyone and everything; 
Took my scream for their amusement,
syphoning hope where I had bled;

Built from pain they could never know
caught by the power in my sting;
Raping that light without consent 
over and over this happened; 

My riches snatched without repent, 
fragile tears I had never shed.
