Rich Man's WorldA Poem by Sami KhalilA modern English sonnet...Rich Man’s World by Sami Khalil A modern English sonnet… It is a rich man’s world with gilded lives Cash flow defined, enormously wealthy Immortal in their minds, taunting high fives Touching white fluffy clouds, duly glitzy. Sadly, they look over their wide shoulders Odder than predicted dangers looming With off-putting loads like heavy boulders Listed worries stay well alive, blooming. In fields of daze, servants work tirelessly To fill bank vaults for their cherished masters With no compassion by a dynasty Widens the gap through rich and poor actors. Neither grieve the poor nor envy the rich For pelf’s chains bind many worldlings bewitched. © 2024 Sami KhalilReviews
