I hope I don’t get in trouble for posting this here. I read a poem and it really kind of stuck with me. I’ve been thinking it over and over, and I figured I’d post it here.
“They killed the polo champ,
The man of a thousand suits,
the one who had mansions and yachts
and rich, beautiful girl friends all over the world.
They shot him to death
and threw him hands tied
into a ditch.
They killed him because he left his suits,
his horses, polo,
his yachts and mansions,
and above all because he then started walking
as a poor man among the poor.”
