Poem - Assassination of the Polo Champ

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.”
