SALVATION

another random dribble

The world we live in is a world filled with green loving fools

Fools who drank themselves into oblivion with their mines of gold

That even if the world were to fall into damnation they would remain as they are,

Ignorant fools

Who bask themselves around hungry wolves in disguise

As their salvation lies solely in their jewels and diamonds

And the poor would witness as they cause mass of destruction

Only to elude themselves back into their money and vast carelessness

And rather reside in their illusion of a perfect world in which they built

For ignorance is only privileged to those with unflawed hands

Seeking warmth in the mountains of wealth they assemble,

And finding home in the grand soirees they held

Should they be contempt with their lives

For all that matters to them are money and power?

One should not scorn poverty when one cannot endure hardship

Because while we dwell in the comforts of a furnace

There are those who would shiver under the mercy of the winter sky

Praying to survive another day, when all they had was each other

As their salvation lies in their hope for a better future.

I know its kinda tacky but was inspired after watching The Great Gatsby
