Capitalist List Esteem Apex Peak Cut Down Poem by Terence George Craddock

people status primary rulers elite especially
pinnacle summit leaders capitalistic perceived
power dominating wealth important people

fast track promotion elevated
on profile supreme capitalist list
near esteem attained apex peak

desire wish to ego believe
in elevated image myth insisting
upon their prime importance

perceive highest
sky piercing peak
in rarefied frigid

cloud immersion layer isolated lost
standing on roof of world mountain ranges
sacrifice romance time past surveyed

the world indifferent
will carry on without us
this is why ego rulers

built massive monuments
countless buildings statues
in praise of their names

hoping to be past death remembered
on lips which if wisdom wise
will honour kind sincere caring hearts

who implant
beautiful memories
within our souls

capitalist leaders ego fed
age fall like bad debts
past wall street crashes

hoping to be future esteem remembered
on lips of their fleeced pen fenced in peoples
once forced to follow their power dictates!
