Builders of Empire - Contemporary Poems Mostly about People Who Do Awful Things

Builders of Empire

Beautiful refined people
Redolent with art and culture,
Masters of finance,
Builders of empire.

Landing on distant shores,
Marching rows of
Shackled souls into
Loathsome holds.

Obscene wealth
Accumulated on the
Scarred backs of
The unfortunate.
