The Commoners... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Commoners...



it is obvious
the commoners live for
the eating alone
and a little drink of water
as they cannot afford
whisky and wine

shallow people
ravished by poverty
and understandably

what use is your kind of
poetry?
they demand a fried
chicken
and here you are
trying to make them figure
out a metaphor?

foolish you.
stay at home, have a life,
and simply be safe.
