Paradise Lost Poem by Christopher Tye

Paradise Lost

Paradise killed by greed and hate,
A lost chance for mankind,
Riches hoarded by the few,
And so many with-out food or hope,
Devils wearing gold bling and sunglasses,
Intent on only serving themselves,
Stripping the world bare to feed their greed,
Eating plenty and ignoring the plight of the hungry.

Lives with so much disparity isn't right,
Orchards of plenty cut down to keep the poor poor,
Super yachts for the few and tainted water for the rest,
Tragedy of our own making as we walked blindly into it.
