Against The Politics of Greed

A poem

Photo by Noah Buscher on Unsplash

The rich, so-called

dream of living

in crystalline palaces

undisturbed and protected by

their affluence

In contrast

the billions of poor,

so-called

want only to

enjoy the real wealth

of a future free of

hatred

For no murder

could be worse than

flames shared online

against the politics of

greed

A poem inspired by #EarthDay2020 and words from Xavier Van Holde in IdeaStream Things We Were Supposed To Be

Poetry Salvage

Use these ten words in a poem!

  • crystalline
  • palaces
  • undisturbed
  • billions
  • murder
  • affluence
