Wasted FortuneA Poem by JT GodinA hit piece.My father is a spoiled rotten child Collecting pogey and parental support Two homes paid for And over a dozen cars; Three written off License ceased in DUI "Honour your father and mother." One sign of many -- biblical bullshits Failed axioms mantras and maxims From a book written long ago By the nobodies of the Earth "Know Thyself" A much more resolute Maxim from antiquity The Delphic maxim referred to so in Pythia What do I know other than tantric meetings Fleeting moments predisposed distraction Look about the urban jungle's fraction My sexual urges are entreating To have but a single dipthong of lust Following a LinkedIn classified ad More bets I could hedge unjustified dad Amidst conjoined particles of hip thrust © 2017 JT Godin |
