Anyone who has worked for minimum wage in a factory will know where this funny poem gets its juice. And for once, a hostage-taker is benevolent and aspires to justice, and not the vindication of some preposterous ideology. Years of tedious, repetitive, underpaid work burn out the soul and the body. As someone who worked several years in factories, I know why this poem is so enjoyable.

I thoroughly enjoyed this poetic story. It was ingenious and creative and demonstrates real talent. I thought it should have been entered in a "Write a story in a poem" contest, which is held quite often on this site, with a cash prize. Since it was entered in the "Hostage" contest I think it will do well and I wish you the best.

A story about a corrupt millionaire. Sometimes millionaires or billionaires are miserable. This story sounds like the millionaire was miserable even though he owned a factory that employed several employees.

Wow, this is a long story-poem, author. :) I liked it it kept me reading line by line. Your story is better when the truth was involved. :) By that, I mean that most millionaires are tight-ass that's why they got money. Thank you for sharing a fun write.

Your poem flows nicely.. The rhymes don't seem forced. The structure makes sense. It drew on my emotions. It presents strong images. I would recommend.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a hilarious take on the 'Hostage' poetry prompt. You have rhymed everything very well and the rhythm is perfect throughout. I expect this epic tale will do very well in the contest. Thank you for sharing and good luck!

Super job with this! I loved it! The content here is great, and the rhythm and rhyme all were perfect. It was all done without violence. Instead, a party. How refreshing.

I love this one. It is certainly something different and such a fun read. I enjoyed every word and was tickled to see him get away with the money too. It should do well in the contest. Good luck.
