Twin Triplets.No.13. Greed, Mayhem Poem by Valsa George

Twin Triplets.No.13. Greed, Mayhem

Rating: 5.0


GREED

Nature’s bowl so full
Yet with an avarice to hoard,
Marauding waves beat upon the shores!

MAYHEM

Economy draining, prices soaring
Crimes rising, Nature roaring
Life searing, Rulers snoring!

I think it is endemic the whole world over. Governments tax the poor and let the rich hoard their wealth. Good poem Valsa.

How rightly have you added your notes to the self speaking couplets! We are on the verge of utter devastation of all kinds As the mother of tragedies has no concern for anyone. Your twin triplets have enough potential to tell about things beyond the sub continent, Madam Valsa.

A clear picture of calamity, economic draining and the ruling of the Govt. have been astutely delineated. A beautiful poem so nicely executed.
