Two thousand six hundred and sixty eight
such an awfully big number,
but small by proportions: far less than a thousandth of a percent!
of the human race, these are rare
these billionaires-- dragons curled atop their ill-gotten hoards
And what can they afford to share?
is there any such thing as generosity on that scale?
not when they've excess so severe
a philanthropist's gifts flung down from orbit? these don't mean shit
nothing more than a PR flare
a signal to one virtue billionaires can never own:
... for the hungry and poor-- a care
would you care to read a poem about something very rare?
....rarer still than billionaires?
let's see the billionaire who's willing to play fair and share....
On the same earth as starving kids,
its not that hard to admit billionaires should not exist
About the Creator
Sam Desir-Spinelli
I consider myself a "christian absurdist" and an anticapitalist-- also I'm part of a mixed race family.
I'll be writing: non fiction about what all that means.
I'll also be writing: fictional absurdism with a dose of horror.
