Thoughts of the state of the world...

Poverty by go1985 at deviantART


The Cry is not

against the rich
just how they got it
fatted calves with
greedy eyes who
peruse with distaste
the poor as they
grovel for more





Love,

I really admire this short piece Eaton. Technically though I think it is begging for punctuation to separate the thinking of the narrator into the 2 coinciding thoughts presented.

Eaton...It's a perfect little piece!

It is a poem to make you think.
Are all the rich like that?
Do all poor people grovel?
Is nobody happy where they are at?
I have an over active mind. Sorry.

There is an amazing amount of power in the simplicity of this piece.

Fabulous.
