Putin is richer than rich.
Does he have to show his taxes?
Is this just a USA glitch?
Like our new sport of throwing axes?

Who is the richer for being?
The one who is beautiful, being observed-
Or the one who is observing the beauty?

all the more richer

Premium Member The Rich Get Richer

So many crooks like old Madoff
From trusting folks they get paid off
The economy fell 
Yet their pockets still swell
and as for me, I am laid off

Premium Member 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.

Money Machine

Money Machine



Money does not make us

More

Not the richer

Nor the poor

Money makes us all

Less

Than we are







Inspired by Christie Moses.

To Always Return

For me,
one time is not enough
Canyons widen
neath mountain bluffs

For me,
each time lay unforeseen
Magic transient
—a richer dream

Rich Man

The rich get richer,
The poor get poorer,
Gimme, gimme, gimme,
More, more, more.

What we crave,
Is never enough,
Break the backs of the people,
To get more stuff, stuff, stuff.

Premium Member Landmarked

Love lingers beyond the neon,
it’s dazzling light will never flicker. 
With each collected moment 
developing that richer hue,
fresh paint on a landmarked sign 
filled with history.

Premium Member Little Angel

The little girl’s soul

Unfolded her ethereal wings

And 

Through the morning mist 

Soared to heavens

Thus 

Making them richer

By 

One angel!

Premium Member Who Steals My Identity

who steals my identity?
it's something, my life
it's mine, was mine
till someone took it
but whoever took my good name
and robs me to make themselves richer
makes me stronger in the end

Some paint a picture

Of the glory of war

The rich will get richer

The poor will stay poor

The mourners will mourn

From shore to shore 

The dead will stay dead

Forever more

Ranks

In a world where we weigh by ranks in the society
The richer the better
I am trying to see my self
For all that weighs in my inner me
But at times
It is hard
I have hard time visualising myself.

Old Is Gold, Gold Makes Rich

Pearls in eyes , Silver in hair
Gold coated on teeth and bones
Crystals and gems ..Sugar in blood 
kidneys filled with precious stones
Tales of pride with pride untold
We do get richer as we grow old

Premium Member Bibliophilia

We seek a richer Metaphor,
     a paragon and quintessence
of intenser, more legendary lore:—
     pregnant in meaning and in present tense!
 
Aye! Give us, too, high suspense;
and a tale worth dying for.

Pope Francis died, 

Thus

Poorer leaving the earth and humanity in pain,

While heaven,

Celebrating is, for becoming richer by one saint.
