Envy

Envy

A Poem by Norman T


 

An urge for possession

A power obsession

Frantic pursuits in the art of

Acquisition

Keeping up with the Jones’s

With crippling bank loans is

Justified, as the new image comes to

Fruition

Then padlocked inside

This prison of pride

The key is retained in the grasp of

Ambition.

About
I enjoy humour and satire, as my writing style,as I can have a legitimate moan about things without depressing my readers ( or myself). I like to appreciate other writer's efforts, but rarely offer.. more..
