A Dromedary's Despair

A Dromedary's Despair

A Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." Matthews 19 verse 24 NIV



One

The camel
Finally
Reluctantly
Stubbornly
Accepted
The truth
And confessed
That he gouged
Out the eyes
Of the needle
Because he
Couldn't see
How to get
Through it


Two

The journey to heaven
Came to a screeching halt
Whose was at fault?
The camel, the rich man, or gee oh dee?
Three
He was made to
Look like a fool
A life of regrets
Sentenced 
Forever and ever
To packs of
Cigarettes
Never realizing
That
Breaking the
Rules
Just wasn't
Kool 
Three Point Five
Now his new sin
Is that he is
The killer of men
As they choke
Beneath his smoke
As they inhale
Their lungs fail
Their deaths 
Are now in
His hand
Understand that
Because 
It's his brand
And that he chose
To be
The spokesman
It's was just
Another reason
The crime of
Moral treason
Got him sentenced to
Roam the land
Until his own hourglass
Runs out of sand
Four
Moses understood
The dromedary's
Despair
Because he knew
The view was not
Enough
Hr wanted and need
To be there

Five

It has been said
That the camels
Of rich men
Have been bred
Just to prove God
Wrong
Is that why so
Many are dead?
Cause they won't
Believe in what
They have read
Nor what
the prophets
Have said


Five Point One
Now every knows
He's also
The spokesman 
For Geico
As he now hears
In his ears
Everyone say
Do you know what
What Wednesdays 
Are called?
He shakes his head
Wishes he was dead
Cause he hates
This "Hump Day" crap
Most of all
