Tell Me Why? Poem by RIC BASTASA

Tell Me Why?



you have what you call
a success,
you have a beautiful wife
who fathered
you six healthy children
you have a fortune to waste
a big house to settle
and a circle of friends to
enclose you

you have all that i could
possibly envy
you have it all
what a lucky guy
are you?

it is strange
you come home drunk
you want to burn the house
and you do not want to play
with the kids
and you break the law
and you wish
that you were dead...
