Prosperity

For the owners of wealth,
the last to pay,
the last to sacrifice,
for the expansion
of prosperity
owners of wealth, competing,
the owners of wealth of
new york city,
of shanghai and london,
for the owners of wealth
of la,
for the owners of wealth
of the top one percent,
for gated communities, influencer stardom,
for all that remains of unencumbered prosperity,
their success,
above the lazy rabble-the owners of wealth worked
to be the extraordinary evil
in the ordinary
