Tears of the Poor (Acrostic)

Tasting salty bitterness,
Engaged in a lonely entree
Arranged and designed,
Rudely, by
Society.

One line
Forms my existence.

Tactfully, I smile-
Humorously
Evolved in another world I create.

Please and thank you are whispered,
Only to receive a brick of cheese.
Onward I lead the others in a crusade of
Rich desires within my own imagination.

#2

In his autobiography The Seven Storey Mountain Merton reflects
on the journey most of the secular world rejects
The poet wrote about the tears of the rich and the poor
In a place in his heart many seemed to adore.
Where men pray with their hands and also make cheese
With the time that they do not spend down on their knees

-------------------------------------------------------

#3
Dichotomy

The tears of the rich
flow
because much is never enough
and each person
must face the tyranny of cosmic
termination.

The tears of the poor
flow
because hardship is not enough
to let each person
experience the absurdity of cosmic
humiliation.

Tears of the Rich

The moon was a cheese made of milk,
with slick-like texture as silk.
But now, it sits in the sky like a child: ill, sick,
Yes... sleep deprived
While a Town, green so rich, watches it
every night from atop a hill
as if it wanting to reach it to treat its misery...

to then eat it.

These are all great xD. Good luck all

Well done

A loaf of bread
a jug of wine and
a wheel of cheese;
who needs thee?
