The relapsed believer Discovers Jesus again Promises unconvincing fealty In return for divine protection ~ The useless undersized runt The butt of barrack room jokes Crawls through hell To give you your last drink ~ Your lover, your son As the steel marbles ricochet Around the living bone bagatelle Calls for you in a blood froth epitaph ~ The brain washed rookie Fortified with believable crap Yet to take a meaningful shave Never to take another ~ The sweet voiced charmer Ignorant of fear or pity Will be your picture book hero But never introduce him to your daughter * * This poem is one version of the truth, if you wish to accept the media version the choice is yours. |

You will only hear the real truth on PBS or other non profit media. Profit always muddies the truth....no matter what the subject, what is projected always holds a bit of deception. The poem embodies the truth, so it seems it is not profitable ..but that is a lie Well done Cari |

One thing about your writing Cari, is that you never tread lightly. Even in your most serene you seem to use vivid bold face type. I admire your work very much. ~L |
