Sitting on a pile of Gold

Suckers are born every day...

Sitting on a pile of Gold           BY S.K.

Sitting on a pile of gold…Fool’s gold!

Scion of a wealthy family…Bankrupt humanity!

Lassitude attitude,

Siamese twins,

Nightmarishly joined

in fear and anger,

sagging depression and

sonorous clangor;

blinded covers,

gullible suckers,

institutionalized by death

and staggering, strange lovers.

Sitting on a pile of gold…Fool’s gold!

Meditating the higher self;

Flickering thoughts of uncanny logic;

Patrons without surcease,

birthing surefire hits

and raw whimpers, felt like a breeze;

shaped gravestones of mountainous

arrogance and pride,

in snow-capped redundancy.

couldn't help but think of the recent ftx cryptocurrency collapse as i read. pt barnum called them suckers and said there's one born every minute. a sad, revealing description that leaves a lump in the throat along with a hole in the heart. the air is thin at the top of that mountain ... )

Wow! I love your take on this one. So true and well said. I thought those investors were fools to trust Bitcoin and those crooks. They lost around 33 billion. Wow! Crooks are still running and living free. Thank you so much sir Pete for pointing that out.

Greed is no man's friend but the cause of his downfall. If only we strived for contentment so much more satisfying and rewarding. Powerful write King Sami.

Another powerful, truthful take on this poem and humanity. I can't agree more.
Our downfall as individuals and societies or buildup is in our hands as you point out. You are astute Emperor. Greetings from America 🇺🇸 to great 🇦🇺.

Often the wealth of a rich family is rooted in darkness. "Gullible suckers"....unfortunately many people will fall for any "get rich quick" scheme and find themselves destitute both emotionally and financially afterwards. Great choice of vocabulary in this one, Sami. I liked the flow of words. Lots of anger in here. Lydi**

Wowzy! So true and well said. The true wealth is the wealth of the heart and mind. Most people think wealth will make them happy and try to achieve it through many ways. Might buy them comfort and other sets of problems. The most valuable things are the ones money can't buy. All rich blessings dear poet and friend.
