The Rich People

The Rich People 

take your money abroad 

fly to the other side of the world 

eat your dinner 

cooked by the hands of a poor man 

by the ocean 

take a picture of that beautiful beach 

post it on Instagram 

don’t forget to crop out the begging child by your side    

don’t forget to barter with the owner of the souvenir shop 

just to save a buck 

party on the island 

piss in the ocean 

leave your mark 

then come home and call yourself cultured.

Yeah! That is really a strong blow to those who do such things and then call themselves civilized. Such people are coxcombs, they are flushed with ostentation and do all such stuff which I classify as silly and awful. Great piece. Keep writing.
