Adopt
the Useless
Reject
the Truth
(c)2013 Bob
Atkinson
ruthlessness
means heartlessness
when the
adamant becomes obsessed
to some point
of bold indiscretion
without such
simple happy regrets
as one does of a
brutal callous nature
saves those
dog-eat-dog inhuman animals
who become
iron fisted malevolent ravens
shakily
standing on tilted rocky tables
but then
their mothers
love them
in spite of
all their faults
senses nature
gave away
defines other
useful wants
fathers,
wouldn't know them
either
missing or concerned that they
could snatch
some charity at home
or look
out somewhere
in the bay
here, the
meaning simplifies
when trying
to explain
how one could
write the truth of it
and have
nobody understand
yet
here out in
the open phrase
lie words of
uselessness
that someone
out there will adopt
as gospel and
declare their best
all remains
open to interpretation
although I've
let the cat free when he
scratched
through a paper sack enough
to quash
thinking about my dreams
go figure
