Long Crise Poems

The Upper Wealthy 

It was said that famous families
only lasts for about three generations 
The Churchills, the Kennedys, and many
Others have a sale by date.
I thought of that while watching a program by
Crise Hedges, who happens to have grown up 
among the stratospheric wealthy, and he
spent time trying to distance himself from
that class of people
He can't, everything about his language 
manner, the smoothness of those who have
not had to strive
Cris was interviewing a man who writes
books about the rich, who, according to     
him are bad for our society and economy
Clearly, the rich are different from those who have
No private plane when going shopping
They send children to the top school in a limo 
They have a big household staff to keep
them in clover, and security, to be rich also 
Mean someone is out to do your harm
The two men began annoying me, telling
stories about the wealthy, sounding like
a couple trying not to sound envious
