Chasms.

 

Chasms.

 

Humanity's endless chasms of class 
routs all avenues of society 
and do not in reality get less narrow.

 

Money the monarch still sits in state
with a smile on his busy
two-faceness which no virus shakes.

 

God save the small openings between
unscaleable walls through
which pilgrims can carefully squeeze.

 

The army against rift of divides face
ancient odds of mis-rule
yet it climbs on to establish change.

  

Tryers believe if they battle to widen
small gaps they may see
a land of begin-again on the horizon.

 

Class separation ever spreads chaos.

Thought I'd reviewed this, Fay... hiccups happen, so sorry.

Your presentation beckons, your words are inspiring, the truth of the whole is incredibly fine. thank you for reminding readers of the cold and ugly truth in today's global society. Pays or not to remember that one man's penny can be disdainfully thrown into a gutter where .. a group of men will scramble to find it. Has happened, does and always will happen.

No worries Emma - glad you felt the catch-up was on the right track of what happens when greed rules the day.......... keep staying well my friend.

I truly fear that sadly, there will always be vulgar and unnecessary gulfs between those who have and those who do not... Your photographic header say's it all and you, ma'am more than do justice with your poem to reinforce such reality

Sincere thanks dear friend for your understanding review- sad as you state that the gulf between have and have not cannot but ever remain mostly unbridged.

makes me want to weep but yes, tis likely true

I think the chasm is getting ever-wider...and the fat cats in Washington
are losing sight of it, and us...
and they think giving us a little handout every so often might keep us from playing in their yard and decreasing the value of their property.
