O, billionaire

O, billionaire

A Poem by Lyric
"

I just feel like sometimes people who don't have the same experiences as you for some reason still think that they know what you've been through, and that they can talk about what you've been through

"
Dear,
politician,
o, powerful mayor,
o billionaire,
and o vain money weigher,

You stay inside your white picket fences,
rocking in your rocking chair,
yet you speak about our world,
look closer,
there's a Hell out there.

You can't see it,
and you never will,
you've been blessed,
you may live without care,
but life here on Earth is more than you,
more than a lot of us can bare.

So thank your parents for your lives.
And don't talk about struggle like you've been there,
when you've lived like a God,
put yourselves in our shoes,
since you claim to truly care.
I couldn't talk about you.
You would never think that's fair.

Love it, I feel like this also applies to any regular person as well in that you never understand another person's suffering unless you went through it with them. Looking at politically I agree with you that many of them claim they have been through such a huge struggle when they really were born into rich or loving families. Just goes to show that there are a lot of people out there that don't appreciate what they have.

Very nice, the relevance this has to both your country and mine is both uncanny and unfortunate. Your style of address, clearly stated in the first stanza, is very nice. Mock-formality, sheer defiance. I like it, keep it up!
