So You Don't Live in Pasyala Anymore?

So You Don't Live in Pasyala Anymore?

A Poem by Joby Bottoms
"

Read. Think. Learn.

"

I suppose you think you can get away with being flippant

like

that.

 

Well my dear, you really

CAN'T.

 

And the reason that it's not acceptable to be flippant like that is because you did it

to

me.

 

BAD

MOVE.

 

No Fridge.

No Fan.

Heard this before?

Did you not hear me the

first time?

No electricity.

Not enough water

when

it's

so

f*****g

hot.

 

And you dare to ask if I'm still living

THERE,

in Pasy-f*****g-ala?

 

Paying your staff

LATE

because you got ripped off

and now you don't want to send money for the basic

living

costs.

 

Warrior:

you thanked me for being yours.

Now you question my integrity because you

"HEARD"

that I wasn't living there?

 

Had line,

nicely drawn,

one either side.

Now crossed.

BROKEN.

 

Listen to your sources.

Think of your resources.

What is left?

A LOSS.

 

Shame.

 

You continue to trust the wrong people.

More

fool

you.

 

Enough.

 

Pay up.

I'm shipping out.
