Plush vs Poor

Block feeble man's reach lest their dreams grasp a stay - 
     fuel egos with hits increasing the poor's ache
Dismay those God loves with plans for their decay -
     sate self-image torturing those you may break 
Celebrate with flutes of champagne on Broadway -
     clueless your gains are horrid keepsakes

So sad plush ones may have heartless behavior -
for they possess means to be mankind's savior

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/5/2019 7:33:00 PM Oooh! Powerful question you've raised in the last two lines... And it's a question which needs to be raised with every new generation. This sorry aspect of human nature never seems to change, does it? … Nice execution of the OR form, CayCay. Warm wishes, Gershon Login to Reply
