“Poetry is
the art of
uniting pleasure
with truth.”

Elfje:
.
noise
vulgar speech
display of ignorance
oaths among the stupid
swearing
.
Haiku:
.
God lives forever
time measured by the light year
man’s life but a blink
.
Poem:
.
can I tell a lie
grandiose ego I
makes me want to cry
the morals which I defy
Mother taught me right
the church made me fear sin
the commandments I thought were trite
it was always more important to win
t’was instant gratification that I sought
never dreamt of the consequence
tried every sin that could be bought
the highs were far above common sense
struck sober by a God incident
was almost restored to sane thinking
the addiction was false imprisonment
controlled by habits that were stinking
to thine own self be true
a better way of living
a Higher Power to see me through
enjoying a life I thought was missing
I cannot tell a lie
I no longer want to be that bad guy
ME and the Boss
