The Coming Of The Weekend Poem by Mihai Cosmescu

The Coming Of The Weekend

Rating: 5.0


The night again descends upon the soul
As we go home, and drink, not to forget,
But for to be ourselves, remind our goal

What good it does? We are again prepared
To face another week, another call
(Not one to arms, but one to help brain-dead
Who ask dumb questions. To hell with them all! ! !)

This brings back Eliot's 'A crowd flowed over Wesminster bridge...' section of The Waste Land containing the Dantean quote 'I had not thought death had undone so many'. A good observation of the modern work ethic
