Arrogant expressions of faces in the crowd,
Ashamed, sick, shattered, starving, empty, tattered figures in a well-worn colorful, garbage of wealth.
Dreams of the poor made proudly into a health of wrecked homeless fortune.
The delicious smothering odor of dollar bills buys laughter and Love.
Will whispers of fame and desire tip the nearby waitress or other shivering bare proud souls?
Soldiers of a search never to be found.
Conquer the thoughts coming out of chortling silky city fur coats and smile!

My play on the term
"Ode" as "Owed"
The definition of Ode - a lyric poem in the form of an address to a particular subject, often elevated in style or manner and written in varied or irregular meter. A poem meant to be sung.
Ode To The Rich,
The words and idea for this Ode came from a 36 Random Word contest to be arranged into a poem making sense. Originally written in 2004, by the author and Never posted or used for any publication.
The House, BMW and Cadillac pictured represent what people buy with wealth.
Rich is Defined as;
1.Having a great deal of money or assets, wealthy.
2. Plentiful, abundant
