poem of the day February 28 

Misplaced values

are placed on

worthless things

like designer clothes

bitcoin and golden rings

None of  that

is needed except

to park money

in a world

of want and gluttony

Why just yesterday I read 

about an auction of sneakers

expected to fetch world record prices

It was next to an article

about a big push to clean up

homeless tent cities

that were ruining the Wa

of certain neighborhoods

Sad that greed is more

popular than compassion
