Is It True That The Devil Wears Prada? Comments

Your poem about greed, aptly points out how the wealthiest 1% get richer at the cost/expense of the bottom percentages. There is a widening divide in our world economy where the super rich get richer and the poor remain poor if not poorer than before. The intersection of these two groups occurs often in manufacturing, where they are working for a pittance to make money for the rich. You write: /'No question is raised about those who are forced to sell/ Their labor (or even themselves) just to survive./' But this poem and the Oxfam report does just that...it raises these questions and forces all of us to contemplate the state of the human race and our place in it. Does the Devil Really Wear Prada? He could. He might.

Very interesting read. A question which I am sure the world will respond to positively.
