Pour Moi Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Pour Moi

Idealism
versus
reality

In hope
that Quixote
prevails

Disappointed
again
reading the trends

Materiality
draining
the grail

Peer pressure
determines
what happens

Not some
high minded
value or tome

Greediness trumps
what our virtue
holds dear

Self interest
hitting
— closer to home

(Villanova University: January,2024)
