Poor little rich girl
sitting alone
none for the pot
all gone.
Just forlorn
weeds vanished
eyes glazed
no future.
What can we do
to help
and tutor
a child.
Poor little rich girl
drag yourself up
reach for the stars
or heaven above.
World is your oyster
grab with both hands
go for it girl
your last chance.
Poor little rich girl
yes.advance
to the world of tranquillity
no drugs,just reality.

Alice, this reminded me or Marianne Faithful's story and of the song 'Ruby Tuesday'. 'Poor little rich girl' - yes, the words 'poor' and 'rich' are open to interpretations, aren't they!? Miffle :-)

meant 'of'

I live where i see students from rich families.
Have told a lot of students to read writewords.
Hope they read this.
Pity they try drugs,
What is life if we never go through the paces.
Hope a few listen and look at WW.
I know several.

Always a refreshingly new theme Stan, is there no subject you cannot write about?!
Tragic poem, well written as always.

Reminds me of the lyrics of "Like a rolling stone Bob Dylan".The poignantcy of hedonism
over doing what you can to make the world a better place !Is a sad reflection on our society ;or is it that they (the little rich kids),and us "responsible Adults",feel as disenfranchised about being able to do anything about changing anything!

I liked this; I'm fascinated to know if you were inspired to write it after encountering or reading about any one person in particular...!

hi roov
For me the poem did not really get going until the 1/2 way down..the last 3 stanzas have real energy and rhythm, and worked very well I thought.
Liked the subject.
