Don't Settle For A Drowsy Dream Poem by John Sensele

Don't go crawling for crumbs
From high tables of the affluent
Who sneer at pangs of thin thumbs
Arrogance declares delinquent.

Don't settle for pugnacious positions
Driven to intransigence
Buoyed in eddies of soapy suppositions
Informed by clouds of negligence.

Don't sell yourself short
Assuming nonsense reigns supreme
In lands and glands of the cantankerous cohort
Which basks in lures of a drowsy dream.

Don't cultivate malpractices
In myopias of gangrenous grades
Earned on backs and sacks of sentimental solstices
If your career croons tangible trades and their threads.
