Broken Society
May 17, 2018
The evil wind went
Passed the desperate bodies
Through the dying city
Dirt covered the roads
Sickness filled all the people
Checkbooks always blank
Rust covered the trees
Money thrived in deep pockets
Money chose money
Needle and thread work
To fix the shallow pockets
Money is still absent
The rich didn’t care
Their gold bangles still sparkled
Their lives still pristine
Invisible walls
Divided society
Why do the walls grow?
If no one stops this
The wind will only pass by
The rusty gold bangle

I wrote this piece because I feel poverty and the seperation in society is becoming a big issue and I'm hoping this poem will get people to think more about their actions.
