Wasted Fortune

Wasted Fortune

A Poem by JT Godin
"

A 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
