heloo, this is my second post here, if y'all don't mind.

Philanthropy

Needles injected folly into the body,

Hypnotised by the money you've tally,

You can't hide behind your cars,

When the land itself bared its scars,


Where were you when their dreams sank?

The heavens knew you robbed the bank,

Buying lavish jewels when you don't even pay the farmers,

The price grew cruel for children and their forefathers,


Mothers sliced their ribs onto the plate,

Feeding their families in haste,

The sky filled with mists of decay,

From your private jets to L.A,


Go and tell us where you hid it,

Your faces torn to be illicit,

Every spectacle you've built from their blood,

A heavyweight clawed on them through mud,

--

Your kindness is there, buried in depth,

But you held promises you never kept, 

Can you hear it loud and clear?

All the eyes of lost lives brimming with tears

--

The system's crashing to the floor,

Now don't try to act so sore,

Your hidden corpse clumped like a tumor,

Didn't you steal billions or two more?

Hello !! Thought I might drop a poem here just for the fun of it. Would appreciate feedback if you have time. Thanks!


oddities (aren't we, k.b?)

Fate's an odd place, isn't it?

Right next to you's where I'd sit,

Already saw our lips as illicit,

Championed my vows like a wordsmith,

We're different sides of the same penny,

I'll try to give you all while I'm not empty,

But you'll get bored, darling,I don't have the money,

Never received a letter from your party,

Still, your chestnut locs stamped like a chevron,

Had my best perfume and jacket on,

I wished upon the month of June,

You'd reach for me across the room,

But it's really fine, baby, I saw you laughing with him,

Walking down the east hall's salty yellow trim,

I'll send you the sweetest dreams there’s ever been,

Hello, hazel brown eyes, sorry for looking in.
