Challenge of the Week CXIII
The Tables, Turned. Perhaps it's somebody you vehemently disagree with, or somebody whose actions are incomprehensible to you. Write from the perspective of somebody you don't understand. What is their story? Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
POWER
Power, greed
It's money I need.
Give me, get me
They always let me,
Get away with what I want.
More and more,
It's never enough.
I eat and I drink and I sup
from the trough.
That the slaves fill up.
Crushing people as I go.
Never do I let them grow,
or flow or
know.
My wicked laughter is all that they hear
As I fill their ears and their minds with fear.
Keep them scared and keep them crying.
All they can believe is my lying.
Until their suffering is too much to bear
and they scream and they cry and then maybe,
just maybe,
they start to
care.
