In A Rich Mans World!

In A Rich Mans World!

A Poem by Onlyme

It is a rich man world
we live in
money talks
and
speaks volumes out loud
as well as
rules us
all.
suited well dressed
people
fighting
to
take more control
of the lower working classes
each and every day.
We live in a rich man
world!
Ordinary work class.
scraping on by.
Without even
a thought
or a care
to the average man
and women
on the street
The odd rich person
an exception does exist.
And they do
help the needy with the odd
Foundation,  Charity and Ball.
and even get a tax deduction
for doing so
in return.
Or handing in
their old Chanel
trouser suit
to the upmarket
Second-hand store.
I sound like a do not like
the rich.
but the truth is
I admire their
determination
their lust for getting
what they want.
But to be so rich
and not care about
others.
Really sticks in the throat.
When all these billionaires and millionaires,
rich people
could easily stop famine,
hunger and wars
help house the homeless
and assist a bit more!
But I am being
cynical and
rude and 
and having
a laugh!

Yes , I agree with you that we actually live in a rich man's world...But you know I feel that people should try becoming rich by their deeds and not by money..And actually this rich people though they are having enough money to help poor and needy people..But many few among them do it and those who do it , they do it so that they will have to pay less tax , this is actually the case in India..You know Mumbai is the 12th richest city in world even though here in mumbai many live in slums..Because their is not equal distribution..Actually as far as India's condition is concerned the rich gets more rich and the poor gets more poor!!
I really liked this writing..
Keep on writing...
