They are Honoured

A dealer of drugs
With immense wealth
Was chosen as president
Of a meeting
commemorating the foundation day
Of a local club
by its office bearers.

As the meeting concluded
He announced a donation
Of rupees ten thousand
In cash to the club.
The audience
Erupted in applause.


The poem based on a local TV Disscussion Prgramme.

Great poem. Sometimes, I don't like the world and the way it works.

There are plenty of evil people that we don’t know.. both poor and rich. And the site you will find a lot of poetry attacking rich people, but never poor people. Come to San Francisco and you will see how much evil people can do.. If a big mistake to think that only the rich do wrong? Plenty of poor people murder on a regular basis. Pangie. And they hold hatred in their heart for anyone who has a dime more than they do..

I agree with Anne-Lise! More for the power, and perhaps that is where the sin lies. Great poem.
