In some respects
he reminds me of Brer Rabbit
all bound up in his personal tar baby
and flailing away with excuses.

He is glib to the end.
It's everbody elses fault..
no one will give him a chance..
He was abused..
everyone is out to get him.

All mouth and ass like a baby bird
with no Uncle Remus to save him.
No one to throw him back
in the marijuana brier patch
where he belongs.

Ouch...those "stories"
always seem to reflect
the truth, eh?

Well done, and welcome home!

I think we all know someone who could wear this poem well... sometimes we even are such a person. *S* Powerful punch you've written... excellent work!

I know that guy!

....hell, everybody knows that guy...maybe with a different face, but....

You have a devilishly clear eye, my friend....and a very sharp pencil!

I don't envy the things you see in your day...but you are one of the "good guys"
