Thin Line Between Rich And Poor Poem by Chima Ononogbu

Thin Line Between Rich And Poor

Rating: 5.0


On this canvas,
I wish to paint a life -
the thin line between rich and poor -
which wakes up in rope purple,
hurries up the escalator
flanked by butter and bread
yet to sink mid-way up,
into a gaping abyss
roamed by dread toothed like American tarantula
that clips life of its wings
and left to rot under blasting dearth.
