Election Year Poetry: “Kleptocrats” (from November 2018)

brianmich6905

The Kleptocrats they’re getting fat,

While many of us starve.

For themselves they cut the pie,

And they don’t care if we all Die.

The Plutocrats have all the wealth,

While taking away our care of health.

The Oligarchs they love their perks:

Free Health Care, Lifetime Pensions…

And they don’t mind their voter’s tensions.

All our pols are out of touch.

What can we do?: There isn’t much.

I have been writing for years, but so far I have made little or no money doing it. I will never give up even if I don't make a dime. I mostly write poetry, but I occasionally write essays, commentary, essays and short stories. Some of my work is really good, if I say so myself. You be the judge. I am at my best when I am inspired, but that unfortunately isn't very often.
