Alienation

By Casey

Eaten alive by the riches

Being removed from society

A poor girl living a rich woman's life

 

She adorns herself with choice brands

Hoping to fit into their dream world

But they don't accept her

 

Travelling on the barbarians bus

No fancy car to meet her after school

A bus her route home

 

Normal people seated on the overloaded vehicle

People educated to survive the real world

Living the way most do

 

Her internal confusion and frustration

Will forever be ablaze each day

But they don't know

 

How often did she have to lie

About the riches she didn't own

To compete with the very best

 

All those enormous mansions

That compared to her normal home

Forever overshadowed her

 

They all bathe in their riches

It’s money that buys them friends

And that is why she had none

 

We are going to live forever

In a society eternally divided

By the line of rich and poor
