Learn more about other poetry terms
Whispers throughout New York’s streets echo
Of a mysterious being at a certain financial center;
The origin of other harrowing beings that can barely be called people:
When the businessman arose from slumber
He marched toward the front door
Unaware of his problems
Focused only on his daily chores
Off to work he went
Your greed flowers poisoned petals
Their immaculate beauty shielding truth
hunger in vacant stomachs will not quench
lust for shriveled greenery will never stop
and you my friend
are in chains to me
Somewhere beyond the rainbow
Beyond where streets are paved in gold
Beyond where freedom’s gospel is quoted in stone
