The Less Privileged



Pretty petty flowers by pathways

With no flowerpot or caretaker

Smacked by the seething sun

Whipped by the sky's tears

Trampled by every pissed off passerby

The survivors you visit

Their pollens you steal

And they you made wither

But another is brought alive

And the cycle continues.


Here is a poem about the less privileged ones in the society and how unfairly they are treated. The poem shows the cycle of how their lives are lived. How they are maltreated and exploited by the victimizers, how they die struggling but already have younger ones who end up continuing the cycle.

Poetic devices include Imagery, metaphor and personification.
