Who Can Balance The Scale?

Who Can Balance The Scale?

A Poem by Rose of many colours
"

children of the world

"

The end of our days is numbered into dust.

And our treasures turned to rust

We crave for things our eyes covet

And contentment begs to abide within

Not for nothing we will let him in.

 

The North wind blow sounds of children crying

The East wind trembles at their pain

The South triumph with all earthly gain

And the West took the good of the land.

 

 Who can balance the scale of wealth?

And tip the poor a quid or two.

Nothing he has done for me and you.

 Sunlight floods the earth 2015 is here.

 

Not far away hungry, and naked! Oh dear.

Battered and bruised so much fear.

Who can balance the scale of wealth?

And tip the poor a quid or two.

It is a poem that paints a picture of the world
"our days is numbered into dust.
And our treasures turned to rust
We crave for things our eyes covet
And contentment begs to abide within"

Pleasure is all mine. You are welcome...:)....
The scale of wealth is tipping further and further into the hands of the few. I have read where, in America alone, 1 percent of people control 90 percent of the wealth. Wow...
An excellent write...:)...........

Hi Sami. I wrote that poem based on those views.. Thanks
The poem is very eloquent in its highlighting of the disparity among the peoples of this world. There are wide gaps between the haves and the have-nots. The sufferers and the perpetrators. The rulers and the subjugated. This was never a fair world. A poem with great impact. It was very appreciated. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this New Year!
