Damned
Damned
From your recumbent posture
a pit of idleness
and self pity
your rouse yourself
to gain notoriety
amongst a
sympathetic gathering
of drunken fools
where you hold court
spewing forth
your repetitious lies
falsehoods to besmirch
and defame those who
came to your rescue
which was a ploy
of your deception
to use then abuse
the very best
Ingrained with
an evil
malintent
you curry favour
and deceive others
You are doomed to an
inner solitude
of fetid despair
a place irredeemable
where your lies
will receive their
just deserts

David, Thank you for the comment. I did not enjoy writing this poem but felt impelled to do so out of pent up anger. The situation is real and ongoing which often adds fuel and vitriol to one´s expression. Thank you again. Keith
