MAN WITH A PLAN

MAN WITH A PLAN

A Poem by Phil Roberts

He bursts in through the door
Most would have opened it first
But they're all the same
These radical fundamentalists
Standing alone and angry
Like blistered thumbs

Each sulphurous quotation
Boomed with idiotic solemnity
And such slobbering enthusiasm
Such glassy eyed acceptance
For every steaming edict

He insistently invades you
Because he needs to invade you
And he longs so much to save you
Poking prodding and nagging
Pulpit punching and finger wagging
'Till your will to live is sagging

"I know and you don't !
I'm right and you're wrong !
You have to listen to me !
I am the man with a plan !
When others can't, I can ! "

So, I ponder this man with interest
His certainty speaks loud and clear
It speaks of making dreams reality
And delusional hopes that really can be
But most of all it speaks to me
Of an utter pile of s**t

I cannot stand those who try to force their opinion and will on others. There is always an agenda, mostly I suspect, a uneasy pandering to their own inadequacy and inability to simply accept life is a beautiful gift from a much higher authority than they can ever hope to own.

Very much liked this. Beccy.
