    Black Kettle

    Step outside yourself so that you

    Realize how ridiculous you sound

    Gloating while trampling on others dreams

    Spitting out incomprehensible mutterings

    So that you can feel accomplished within.


    Can’t you hear yourself mumbling such asinine crap?

    Unintelligible, ignorant, incessant rambling…wait….

    You’re talking and can’t seem to shut up.

    How about if I assist you…

    Should a gag order be put in place?


    For whatever reason you relish in other’s sorrow

    Supposedly thanking God, it’s not your own.

    Wipe that freakish grin off your face

    Once again you’ve come full circle

    And have allowed your self the honor

    To appear as an insufferable ass.

    Thankfully this time, I shall revel in the glory

    Suffice it to say, I obviously recount the last laugh.

    "For whatever reason you relish in other’s sorrow Supposedly thanking God, it’s not your own Wipe that freakish grin off your face" — nothing like both barrels form the hip tell-it-like-it-is with a lyrical ceaselessness that hungers for readers. Not one word is misplaced, nor can you refuse the sentences they form. Bravo!!

    I can say... to laugh at others time of misery can become your own... I laugh at no-one... just at the things that happen to me... a laugh at my sarrow and pain.... I have victory in Christ....... red

    SHOTS FIRED!!!! lol. This is a good angry piece right here. Your annoyance is so prevalent and it lends such flavor and passion to this one. I can just see you laying the verbal wood to whoever this person is and can picture their downfall and humiliation.I am sure you deserve the last laugh. May the kudos be with you(that is my trademarked saying...you can use it if you like...just give me my credit lol) Cheers!!!

    Your fine writing is so there .. in your face towards this person that could have easily caused hate. Familiar with your work, i've to say there's not a hateful bone in your body. You've overcome even before your last laugh. Great write!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
