Two Besotted Beggars In Our Lives Poem by John Sensele

Prejudice and malice
Both besotted beggars
Gamboling, galumphing, griping and gripping a solstice
In limpid lives whose tigers and daggers

Stagger, simulate and strut along
Craven
Oblong, wrong on a song gong
Sloven and driven

Unexpectedly pop up in interpersonal interactions
Writhing like serpents
Wreaking heady havoc in their insurrections
Contents, events, proponents and deponents

To defy, modify and stupefy logic
Contemplate disunity
In a rogue republic
Whose unity

The besotted beggars bring down
Tearing one member from another
Assuming every crown
Becomes anathema as Jack and Jill like each other

To the detriment
Discord prejudice and malice promote and quote
In every contrary condiment
Ever taught or caught.
