With Wishes To Fulfill Individual Greeds Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I wouldn't want to be a pharaoh.
Not today.
Not at these prices to pay.

People uniting,
With wishes to fulfill individual greeds.
A taste of variety,
Has once peaceful places...
Feeding this as possibilities.

No one is satisfied to follow a leader.
Not one who has fed...
With a flaunting done,
And a parading around...
While enforcing others to beg!

Oh no!
Those times are being ushered to go!

I wouldn't want to be a pharaoh.
Not today.
Not at these prices to pay.

People uniting,
With wishes to fulfill individual greeds.
A taste of variety,
Has once peaceful places...
Feeding this as possibilities.

Oh no!
Those times are being ushered to go!
Although no one can keep visions like this...
Wished with demands,
To live in splendor when money is at hand.
Or...
Had been.
