RE: Poemchallenge entry by @galacticvagabond. Competition created by @margaretwise
Congrats on the win! Found your poem on @margaretwise's page. These two refrains killed me.
So used to a Western convention,
that self-made worth warrants a monetary suspension.
What happened to an honest days pay?
What happened to minding our own way?
How did we get so lost as a society...
So well written. Thanks for sharing. :)
Cheers Mike! Much appreciated :) Good to know @Margaretwise's contest is being seen by people.
Seems as though with the modern advances in technology it's far easier to brainwash larger numbers of people than say 30 years ago, fortunately we've found Steemit so we can 'earn an honest days pay' 🙂
For curiosity's sake I had a brief look at your website and it seems we're not so disimilar in that 'My passion is to create images that break through the filters we've erected.' Albeit we're doing it via different mediums.
Stay tuned, I'll be posting more poems as and when they pop into my head 🤔💡
Can't wait :)
Hopefully someday soon we'll be able to overcome the issues with this site and some of the people and make that living. For now, it pays for my coffee, hehe. Well, some of my coffee.
Haha well as the famous proverb goes 'Wealth gained hastily will dwindle,
but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.' 🙂
If that's the case I'm gonna be a billionaire, lol.
