Altruistic Poetry Challenge #16 - The Prodigal

in esteem •  6 years ago 


...
Time won't permit to talk of him
All that was left,a bottle of gin
Staggering, gutter sleeping, easily drunk
Still has his father punk.
..
...
Years have passed, unrecoverable
Unending days of best factory fashionable
Awards, plagues, filled the office table
Till a recklessness son, made a gamble.
...
...
Sobber for once, he asked
Where, when, fathers wealth
The truth : all wasted
Cried that day, cursed, no remedy.
...
...
Dave, Tony, Damian, Cassy
All did the same thing, wasting
No thought for the morrow
Now they wail in poverty and sorrow.
...
...
Lesson learnt, we stood up
Filthy rich kids, they must not fuck up
Home trainings done, maximise wealth
For that is this generation best bet.
...
...
Train, train, make them know this
Money's code is invest, not drink
For the future, for humanity
Though, soon, we'll say bye to fiat.
...
