Rapacious

Rich get richer as they
ride shamelessly over 
rights, and equality; 
remorseless profiteers,
reaping their lust for gold,
reduce the rabble to
rats in a maze of debt.

A stark reality beautifully summed up. A realistic picture of the present social scenario where the rich get richer and the poor, poorer! Beautiful flow and powerful presentation. Congratulations Terry on your well deserved win.
