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

I love that Keith - really grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Very intense and immediate.
