FRIDAY WRITINGS #154...Poets and Story Tellers United


 SHADORMA

neglected

lonely old people

too many 

die alone

in this cruel society

our eternal shame


CINQUAIN

why not 

give them great care ?

it's not cost effective

they've reached their use by date so it's

sod off

  2. The joke is hysterical. The poetry chilling and tragically true. Why oh why oh why.
