Day 27 – National Poetry Month: Paradise in Nightmare

Today’s poem is a bit of a chant poem and a bit of a free verse poem, from the prompt Paradise in Nightmare. Enjoy.

Paradise in Nightmare

Live the High Life
sipping champagne
Gilded age of dreams,
at someone else’s expense
Your paradise
built on nightmare

Boom or Bust
let the gold flow
Never mind the cost
to the ones you don’t see
Your paradise
built on nightmare
