Poems for the Penniless: Centsless Poetry

By The Poor Poet

Billionaires cower in fear in their mansions far from the Shores of Reality,
across the vast Gap of Wealth, when the Poor Poet comes to town. The riot
police hired by the billionaires come out in full battle gear, armed with tear
gas and rubber bullets and pepper spray, but they can never fi nd the Poor Poet
because he is but a fi gment of their paranoid imaginations. They think they
control the world, but they cannot control even their own greed, and their
great wealth is but a curse that will destroy them. The billionaires tell their
wicked lies, but no one believes them, because the Poor Poet speaks the truth,
the truth sets us free, the evil billionaires are all put in jail, and the world
is saved.
