POETRY: A DECADE OR TWO OF JUST LUNCHING OUT BY PAUL TRISTRAM

His Father’s a Lieutenant Commander

in the Military,

paid for him to attend private school,

giving him all the best opportunities

and chances in life.

He paid him back by just lunching out

like a loser on heroin for a decade or two.

Denying his Folks the chance whatsoever

of Parental Pride or Grandchildren.

Instead he mirrored the Scum he surrounded

himself with except whilst they starved

because of their lifestyle, he telephoned

his Mother (With absolutely no shame at all!)

she would bring bags and bags of shopping

around to his selfish, ungrateful front door.
