Prison Dreams Poem by Sandra Martyres

Prison Dreams

Rating: 5.0


Madoff and Stanford
Leaving wealth and luxury behind
Now dream in prison

Disgraced Ponzi kings
Sleeping in musty jail cells
Dreaming of old friends

No more caviar on toast
No more uncorking champagne
Just sharing dreams with fellow gaol birds

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This is indeed karma and it is great to know the 'what goes around comes around' philosophy is now working, prison being the punishment. Senyru is definitely your forte as these are excellent. 10 Karin Anderson

It couldn't happen to a nicer couple of fellows. (smile) They were laboring under the illusion that you get paid for being more clever and sneaky than anyone else. Now they are back in the outright bribe system, much more practical and transparent.

How wrong can you be? These bastards will be living a high life in prison, they'll pay the guards to ensure they do. Seriously, Jerry Hughes
