CayCay Godwin Poet Rhyme

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

Allen Beilschmidt Sr. June 7, 2019 at 3:28 PM Life is cheap. Food lies, medication lies, chem trails and on and on and on. A very profound write Cay Cay

Caren Krutsinger June 7, 2019 at 1:46 AM Brilliantly done, maestro. I am sure this is a winner.

Michelle Faulkner June 6, 2019 at 6:35 PM I like the combination of the quick, snappy rhythm to the deeper serious questions presented - I will want to re-read this many times, making this a Fav!

Jennifer Proxenos June 6, 2019 at 1:07 PM Hi CayCay, You are a special poet and the epitome of deep, different, emotional, inventive writes on soup - you deserve every accolade and trophy on the go! Hugs, Your friend Jenny.

Gershon Wolf June 5, 2019 at 7:33 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
