Rags To Riches

The Worlds human snakes have raised the stakes,
From table scraps to pies and cakes.

Prince, these words say so much about a culture where the sneaky-hidden aggressors get the goodies. Keep writing! Smiles, Dane Ann (soup mail)

Interesting couplet, thought provoking. It has a sarcastic undertone. Well written, Prince. Thanks for sharing. Happy new year! Caroline.

This is a clever one,Prince. yes, it seems like cakes compared to what they used to take from us. They are devils, and I am feeling so sad to even think of them. Thanks for your comment to me on my school. LUv, Andrea

Interesting that you have said the stakes have been raised. I could go in many directions with this one from political to drug pushers. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara
