Our world Rich and beautiful Yet hollow and bland Her emptiness has no depth Her riches fathomless Her dwellers drool in confusion Starving to death amid plenty Her inhabitant flourish But in poverty and misery Yet own enough to feed generations unborn Leading to chaos, anarchy and doom Her poise awful with looming damnation Owing to avarice and man’s inhumanity to man Countless of billions mourn while a handful celebrate Our world the product of our hand

Misery in Riches
Our world Rich and beautiful Yet hollow and bland Her emptiness has no depth Her riches fathomless Her dwellers drool in confusion Starving to death amid plenty Her inhabitant flourish But in poverty and misery Yet own enough to feed generations unborn Leading to chaos, anarchy and doom Her poise awful with looming damnation Owing to avarice and man’s inhumanity to man Countless of billions mourn while a handful celebrate Our world the product of our hand
