Remember Red Roses Poem by John Sensele

Remember Red Roses



Forget me not when you ascend to the apex
Where oxygen grows thinner
To the extent when you begin to vex
Associates, acquaintances and friends with whom you chopped dinner.

Forget me not when your bank account swells to the brim
Attracting a swarm of parasites
Who care little about the vim
That propels you to loftier sites.

Forget me not when hangers-on cloud your vision
Ensuring you glance inwards
As they secure the profusion
Of dogmas devoid of right rewards.

Forget me not when social mobility catapults you to the top
Where somehow you build new alliances
Swerving on a slippery slope with little hope
To circumvent circuitous circumstances with dwindling bank balances.
