Crock of Gold : Simile Poetry

written by Poet : EC


LOTTO - oh, what a lark
didn't win, but still, someone did
wow, $211.8m in one move
what luxury, what all-too-much
how to spend it in a proper way?
buying, buying, buying or giving?

it could save lives in many ways
one life for one million?
maybe one life for half a million?
oh, what riches that would give
riches of days and love
maybe riches of new kinds of riches?
heaps of gold turned into flesh
have seen that before
called exploitation
but heaps of gold turned into healing?
heal the bad life, the sickness of hearts
then the win becomes a Crock of Gold
hailed by the Rainbow
