ego

ego

false idol
who wants
it all

ego

a dictator
who builds
obscene monuments
so he can worship
his marauding failures

ego

locked up
when reality
arrests him

ego

happy being
unhappy
at his demise
alone

damn Lenny!

A: Have you and the fiance gotten married yet? B: Thanks for writing an autobiographical poem about me! In all seriousness this is probably the first really deadly serious piece I've seen from you that hit EVERY SINGLE NAIL right on the head. Passionate and with simmering tension and anger. Mark W.
