Weepers & Quitters Poem by John Sensele

Weepers & Quitters



When a black bloke blurts beauty
Doesn't domicile in ebony effigies
Smacks so much of haughty
Harassment and debasement in orgies

That paint pictures portraying poor
Perceptions and provocations
That depict a dour
Deception in which invitations

To the piety of reality
Condemns realms and aims in such minds
Betraying surreality or incredulity
Which binds and finds

Brisk brashness and boredom
That cast vast blasts of inferiority
In minds whose cocky kingdom
Venerates a vulnerable variety

Of irascible incompetence and pitiful pretence
Insults mothers and sisters
To whom unsettled urchins owe allegiance
Although a dough of emptiness enriches urchins' blisters because they're quitters.

Well written in a quatrain of 5 stanzas. Good use of alliterative sound devices.
