New Poetry by E.F. Schraeder

How to Retire with a Million Dollars

Start ten years ago

invest in everything you

believe against.

Pray for redemption, luck.

Move to a country that believes

in health for all people,

or just in people.

Exploit advantages.

Stake your claim in the shrinking pie.

Prey.

--E. F. Schraeder
