Pinch of Poetry

Poetry Expo 25


Greedy need indeed to unlimitedly own, does it have a flaw, does it even provoke a foe?

Does this raw greed to expensively sell and buy cheap listen to the weep of the weak?

Let the poor grease the wheels of private prosperity with more nepotism and protectionism

than competence, competition and dexterity.

Who collects all of the world's debts?

Cleverly it‘s planted that we take this nonsense seriously for granted.

Even with obvious threats, we witness with silence

the all-encompassing sickness of mass compliance.

 


The project is part of the subthemes  Re-imagining identity through poetry, Healing Narratives - Poetry, Mental Health and Collective Trauma, Cultural Resilience - Literature as a force for social justice, Poetry and the Digital Commons - New platforms, new audiences.
