Jacque Graham Poet Free verse

The Great Divide

With every uncertainty the rich get more greedy
and larger grows the great divide
a great plague stretching worldwide

And each and every person's tear
is nothing in the corporate eye

The land of opportunity 
where opportunity has ceased to be

Each day politicians boast jobs
they fail to say how many are lost

The wars go on 
we cannot win but refuse to loose
not counting the money and souls already lost

Change, but no one knows what change they want
only that what's happening today
is a deth sentance for generations to come

Edward Ebbs October 12, 2011 at 1:06 AM A Blast From The Past - Solon (550ish BC): "The man whose riches satisfy his greed Is not more rich for all those heaps and hoards Than some poor man who has enough to feed And clothe his corpse with such as God affords. I have no use for men who steal and cheat; The fruit of evil poisons those who eat. Some wicked men are rich, some good men poor, But I would rather trust in what's secure; Our virtue sticks with us and makes us strong, But money changes owners all day long." ~ Peace
