Behind every man
is a good kicking.
A broken paving stone,
banana skin,
a patient problem waiting its turn
to trip you up and
trample underfoot,
a brazen soul with
deserved pangs of displeasure,
to close the show
or pin to a wall.
Take its turn to
have its turn
and enjoy its turn in
trampling underfoot
a loving soul
which cowers beneath a
heart full of promise,
that fails to function, with each beat,
a pulsating waste
redundant mass,
stolen by lies
blamed quite rightly
for others pain.
Please tell me what you think

"a brazen soul with
deserved pangs of displeasure,
to close the show
or pin to a wall"... I like the imagery here & though I often complain 'bout the double standard in society, I can see how women have it easier (sometimes)
'xept I hardly get what you're trying to say in the final stanza... hmmm~
Thanx 4 checking out my stuff... TC<3

Behind every person
Is a different person with a wholly diffent agenda. Don't worry. We will all have a quiet and peaceful time eventually. It's called death SO, BEFORE IT GETS US BOTH ....... HERE'S A GLASS FOR YOU AND MOLL. OH, AND EVEN HER MUM. X -
We all are culpable
to a greater or lesser degree. We say, 'if it were perfect we'd never have done what we did with him/her' It's impossible to stay for a HUNDRED YEARS in a place we can't be (OK - me - I'm still here by dint of ennui - do you believe me Martin? Only cos the worst happened before the kids I suppose.... No, actually) ah the ennui........ entrenched and stultified
)) {does that mean big brave smile?} x

Being a journalist ...
you can most certainly relate to the cause and effect of actions ... And: you have penned a powerful social commentary.
Well done, Poet.
Blessed Be.
