Captive

CAPTIVE


Indeed a sovereign adversary
held captive by wealth
status
ill begotten fortune
the lies spew from your mouth
so recklessly
no afterthought to derail you
derail you from your ultimate intention
of complete degeneration
guilty pleasure adhering to a voracious summit
The finale of years of destitute illusions
leading up to a collection of shameful wrongdoing
all cultivating to an amusing restitution

Reviews

[MoriartyMesa]

This reminds me of various tales and actual European history, penniless peers, flat broke earls, all living on a sort of borrowed credit. This work brings to the mind of a proven struck Marquis, soaked in gin and warn dirty clothes, looking at a window exposing a picture, that was once his family for generations.

Drunk, broke, broken.

Great word choices in this well written piece....Whisk

I like the use of language to make your point. Many lines stood out in this poem.
"ill begotten fortune
the lies spew from your mouth"
I like the ending of this excellent poem.

But whose "web" - their own or the one agrieved?

[pinpen]

a strong write here, with great meaning.

[An owl on the moon]

You drive us deep into the heart and soul of one selfish and isolated.. filled with a voracious hunger that cannot be satisfied... Your words make us long to see more.

[Angelic Surrender]

Powerful work. I like this one as well

[Dream Weaver]

Nicely done...
