Poetry 2000-..... |
This poem was about a CEO I kind of accidentally ran
into who was in a bad mood and found no humor in a humorous situation. My friend
and I looked at her like she were a fanged viper whom we disturbed in her staged
play with other higher-ups. It seemed odd because she headed a charitable
organization to help animals. She certainly wore some charity in her get-up and
make-up, but the look could have euthanized the best of us (in her dreams). She
really did look like a malnourished cross of a male and female in her features,
if it had not been for the dress and high heels.

She's poised on every pinnacle Extolling all her preachers She dances quite seductively In a body starved for power Her lips a pursed and cynical grin For the next victim to devour She infiltrates all institutions Vilifies the loving measure Befriends unwitting foes All souls for short-lived pleasure She knows I know her in a room My Angel 'tween us silent I'm the poet she's come to hate My verse is non-compliant My hair, blood and falling tears Have been noted by the Sun I have given everything Now Thy will be done This shall be her kingdom Blue-black planet lost in space A floating grave of ill-repute Banished in disgrace So Miss Lady of Disguise And Mr. Debonair You're a CEO of nothing Except ultimate despair.
