of wool and ignoranceA Poem by William James McPheethey won't even stop and read
what i have written...
as if the problems of the world
do not concern them and their
fanciful suits made of the
purest wool...
i laugh at their ridiculous thousand
dollar purchases
... wearing a sheep's a*s hair
proudly, as if this assinine display
of power were worth more than the
ragged clothes which allow rats to
bite my skin at night...
those nights when I crouch under my
sign and feel protected regardless
of the blood which leaks from my
legs and side.
the end of the world is coming soon
and the miserable masses echo on
as though jesus
will save them.
but he won't.
would that they'd read...
listened, even...
