POETRY: I WANDERED LONELY AS A… DISCARDED SYRINGE CAST INTO THE GUTTER BY PAUL TRISTRAM

Past the Evil breeding in Mans Corrupted Heart.

Watching the Lost, Wounded and Dispossessed.

The Crumbling of Beauty’s Tragic Personality,

the Awful Decaying of once Bright, Hopeful Souls.

Observing SEX used as a Bait, a Trap, a Torture,

Spear and Vice, Fighting, Hammer and Tongs.

The Spite Blooming Ripe as Cancer, Open Violence

Shocking in its Passionately Deranged Intimacy.

Both Lies and Bile smiling Slyly whilst dogfighting

Honesty and Integrity over Guilty, Corrupted pennies.

Innocence’s Rape, Slaughter and Butchering to Applause.

The Rats of Fear and Failure Crowned and Taking Over,

with Death, Disease and Destruction of Standard Ethics

Littering the Rotting Road to Ruin which is now Home.
