*Glitzy gowns, crisp suits Dainty personalities, well-groomed gentlemen The crème de la crème of society Poised reveling in an aura of importance Flex their financial muscle In the name of philanthropy. Handing out gifts to hoi polloi Their hands gloved Smiling from ear to ear Their noses twitching Apparently un-accustomed to the “smell” of poverty Has poverty…a smell? Self-aggrandizement overwhelming their souls Having warmed the hearts of the downtrodden It’s a deal…sealed Effortlessly*

Opaque Transparency.
*Glitzy gowns, crisp suits Dainty personalities, well-groomed gentlemen The crème de la crème of society Poised reveling in an aura of importance Flex their financial muscle In the name of philanthropy. Handing out gifts to hoi polloi Their hands gloved Smiling from ear to ear Their noses twitching Apparently un-accustomed to the “smell” of poverty Has poverty…a smell? Self-aggrandizement overwhelming their souls Having warmed the hearts of the downtrodden It’s a deal…sealed Effortlessly*
