Wealth, Fame, Power & Libido! Poem by Tom Zart

Twisted by pursuing all, which is wrong
Their compassion becomes self-serving.
Tormented by mistrust, suspicion and rage
Their downfall as a being is deserving.

Wealth, fame, power and libido
Are the trophies of what politicians consists of.
They hunger to experience every exotic wish
Overpowering the glory of love.

Those who wish to be revered by history
Must earn their fame by living the truth.
Any who continue to mislead and deceive
Must be shunned by the voter at the booth.

The biggest question of life is "why"
The greed of man is always in season?
Why is our world the way it is
A tragic poem without rhyme or reason?

In life, we fail despite our wealth
If no one cries at our passing.
We must strive to become irreplaceable
So the memory of our love is lasting.

THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART?
