Take Away Badness Poem by John Sensele

I've lived beneath my dignity for too long
Drifting like a leaf on a breeze
Knowning not who or to what camp I belong
All because it's fashionable for my lifestyle to sneeze.

I lurch from disaster to catastrophe
Bruising my character
Inserting a needless apostrophe
Confirming my status as an avarice actor.

Jumping to the edge of collapse
Craving for doubt
Interfering with the sentimental synapse
Promoting on my mouth a pout.

Down on bended knees I go
Praying for forgiveness
For foibles I determine to forgo
If only God could subtract my sadness.
