Ramblings of a Sarcastic A*****e

 

Here’s to the murders

Of sons without wives!

Cheers to the conclusions

Of their shortened lives!

 

Here’s to the children

Left without their moms!

Cheers to the sorrows

No good man can calm!

 

Here’s to the homeless

Men cold and grubby!

Cheers to the mercy

Of rich getting chubby!

 

Here’s to the women

Beat into submission!

Cheers to the bruises

And those who won’t listen!

 

Here’s to the violence

The wars we justify!

Cheers to the foreign lands

In which our children die!

That's the thing about satire. You have to be smart enough (as a reader) to get it. The onus is on the recieving set of eyes. Your delivery was precise - succinct - and steeped in sarcasm. Awesome writing covering so many hot points. Well done. Well done!

I usually hate sarcasm, because of the fact that I don't get it. And again had almost forgot you said you were being sarcastic. lol. However there is a place for sarcasm and you used it well and for a profound message. I enjoyed this.

Nicely done with these... and the title is great to boot! I like sarcasm. It's my favorite of all literary devices. I use it every day. Mostly without thinking. It works great as a defense mechanism as well. This piece brought forth a message and wrapped it in a bubble of sarcasm and a wonderfully caustic tone. Succinct. Well written and versed. Nicely done.

If we drank to all the wrongs in the world we'd be some wasted fuckers.. haha.. sounds fun, but tragic. Thankfully we have writers like you who speak the truth to open some eyes and you've done it very creatively. I enjoyed this, great piece.

i agree with everything tl says. he said it better than i could ever describe it.

this was a fabulous poem.

it's saddening to watch our society crumple...to turn into a pile of worthless crap.

I like this. Glad to see another person that is passionate enough to speak out against that which is clearly wrong in the world today. People should be exactly that people see the world and its ugliness and want and desire to change it. I appluad you and this piece.


Great Job!!!!!

I like the sarcasm in this. This has such power behind each and every line and holds so much truth.

Its interesting that something such as this can be whimsical and yet straight for the jugular as well. Rare that it can be done, but you have. Damn rating does not seem to be working again I was trying to give this 96%
