Florida's Golden Coast

By Cinara

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Florida’s Golden Coast The hot and bustling southeast coast of Sunshine State A megalopolis of palms and interstate Accommodating more and more incoming mass As alligator lurks below the overpass They come from all directions over land and seas To live in sprawling tropical communities A mega-city built between the Everglade And coastal waterways that God and man both made A haven for the super rich and super poor And Spanish speaking immigrants from other shore They come by private jet, and overcrowded boat They bask in wealth, or simply pray to stay afloat Luxurious yacht that’s docked along the waterfront Material product of the manmade wealth and want Undocumented immigrants seek lifelong dreams An underground economy is bursting at the seams The night lights up with Latin rhythm and with song And fine cuisine and wine beneath a royal palm A glittering diamond necklace strewn from Palm Beach to the keys While man remains a mystery to the wondrous Manatees Written March 22nd, 2002 © on Mar 22 2002 12:17 AM PST   0 • 10
