The ancients gods can sing and dance The modern ones can speak in tongues And none of them wants marbles When gold is what they are after
Help the poor with treats But give the rich their banquet Show your face in charities But mingle socially with celebrities
And if you must spent lavishly Do so to those with deep pockets And throw away your old and unwanted To brings smiles to the less fortunate
Be seen among the movers and shakers And not the small time thieves and beggers Nothing is free is their life policy Agents are prostitutes in disguise
A very sad world we live in unfortunately. The poor get poorer and the rich richer. And the rich look down on the poor saying they had the same opportunity as I but that is not true. Different lives have different circumstances and different difficulties. Good write Morgan. Good to see you back. Cafe Jim would be proud of you.

How very true Morgen ... one would think as society moves on that we, as a whole, would become more enlightened to the poverty that surrounds us. However, unfortunately, that is far from the truth as the gap between the haves and the have nots widens.
The rich find new excuses for stealing money from people and making more people poor. We have a tax system here that rewards war criminals with half of our taxes and Trump seems ok with this.

How very true Morgan, you have summed up the essence of a certain type of rich hypocrisy here. Ps good to see you posting again...
Morgen, it is a very sad world we live in. The monied ones are the Lords of evil. Their powerful fingers can manipulate the truth, make themselves richer at our expense, the lowly and powerless.
Hi, morgen90210, And none of them wants marbles When gold is what they are after Those having more than most must take action to see that the inequities are diminished. When this does not happen, revolutions are spawned. May we learn to live up to our stated principles before it's too late. Thank you for shedding light on Generosity Greed.
After a thorough read of this unique poem, and after a glimpse of the comments posted thus far, I echo the words written prior to mine by the other writers, and only feel that I would add that despite the inequality that certainly does poison all people in all territories of the earth, those such as yourself have an amazing testimony supersede all uncertainties. ......Great to read from you Danesh once again my friend. ........

Someone won a 1.5+ BILLION Dollar Mega Lottery Tuesday night. I don't play the lottery - but if I had won it - I would have a ball (after saving a million or 2 for me to get through life ) spreading joy throughout several charities and maybe start an anonymous charity foundation of my own with super honest and well watched people heading it up. Just saying - why does anyone need that much money to live.
