Fair and Foul

witness
a young woman
educated in hate
whose finely chiseled looks
are drop dead gorgeous

until she speaks

when that full kissable
pout opens
to an estuary of abuse

a torrent of profanity
gushes forth
spouting excrement

how her features morph
contort to ugly

her dark eyes violent
her lips spit bullets of venom
ice crystals splinter
in her frozen heart
as she celebrates

death and torture
of innocent civilians

without an iota
of compassion nor a
tear of remorse
while poison courses her veins

a cancer unchecked
planted and nurtured
in her creator’s
fractured garden

In America we refer to these types of women as "Karen". Mix an attitude of entitlement, lack of respect, and self awareness with alcohol and it's always a good time. Unfortunately, these people tend to breed and this attitude/disposition gets taught to the children at too young an age to give them a real chance at not being horrible adults... and the cycle begins again. It's really just different variations of borderline personality disorder in my opinion.

We have Karens too David and I agree with what you say. This character was far worse than any Karen. This one was indoctrinated with hate. Calling for the killing of innocent civilians. Just one in a crowd. Ugly it was. Thanks for stopping by. Happy new year to you.

Yeah, i kinda misinterpreted this one a little bit didn't i?

Sometimes evil isn't only scary and heinous, but taken far enough it can get downright bizarre. This is why some of the most hateful people in the world are those you meet, and you can tell they're just a little off in some way. This poem is beautiful--it reminds me of a few politicians.

Thank you Kaylor Mason and I can understand how you might think of some politicians after reading these lines. Your comments are most welcome.

Brilliantly sculpted, dementedly hollow.

I agree with Winston. Brilliant write, awesome read.

With love,

Nothing makes a person ugly quicker than what comes from their mouths. Nice poem, Chris.

You are of course spot on Winston, and this one was uglier than many. Thanks for stopping by.
