pome for the impaired

by Charlie Morgan



you can read it too. it is not long.
or difficult, you know, hard.

your eyes will be robbed of Mtv hotties;
as visions behind them make thoughts occur.

be stiff-necked, like God called his people
one time. then He let us kill His Son.

the pome is about a good man who died.
starved of man's love to an early death.

as you close the pome, scene-changes hang;
crows on a broken, barren tree branch

silhouttes the heavy humidity, dragging skies
of who will read it next, see it differently.

in some i have pictures, you know, to help you along
where the grey spots of apathy thrive, unchecked.

rather, i'll not write the pome that you won't read.

Great last line, man. Like a steel door slamming shut at a hundred miles per hour.
