To A Typical Townie Poem by DM W

You lack the inner stillness to appreciate
Traces of beauty dipped in sun, stars and moonlight.
You are so distracted by more trivial things,
Like ghastly celebrity fashions and gossip.
Perhaps, you should start attending art galleries
And attempt to read S. Path's profound poetry.
But I can't see that happening anytime soon.
Hartlepool's sordid bars might cheer you for a while
At least, but you lack the light and grace of peace.
You'll never escape the modern, miasmal gloom.
As for me, I suppose I will continue to
Compose odes to sweet Love that few will ever read.
