I Was The Worst

On 2014071820140705 By Beleaguered ServantIn Original Poems4 Comments

There is a world called “dating” –
I was once there immersed –
But if there had been rating,
I would have been the worst

Worse than the guy with the mullet,
Worse than the guy with the plaid –
I was so socially backward
That it was truly sad

For someone who should have known better,
Who knew how to talk and relate –
But somehow, it just wouldn’t happen
Whenever I went on a date

So if you have had dating nightmares
Whose ill-effects haven’t dispersed
Be glad that I wasn’t one of them
For I believe I was the worst

Belief Consumption

On 2014071620140706 By Beleaguered ServantIn Original Poems2 Comments

Precooked and prepackaged thoughts
Conveniently, upon a shelf
For you to place within your cart
And take home for yourself

Handsome and attractive thoughts
Marketed for such as us
Which we consume wholesale, and never
So much as discuss

Things we swear we know as fact
But do not know exactly where
We heard or read them. We did not.
We swallowed them back then and there

Talents

The life we’ve led
The path we chose
It matters not
Where we began

Death comes to all
But first to those
Who will not do
While they still can

The Gifts

We are the gifts we give to those we love

And just like any gift

We cannot give thinking that one day we

May take it back

Refractions on Fatherhood

On 2014071520151219 By Beleaguered ServantIn Original PoemsLeave a comment

A full-grown human child sees it’s father
Like a magnifying glass focused on an ant:
Truthfully
Clearly
And in a such a way
That the ant
Is unlikely to ever recover

[Note: no actual ants were harmed by the author of this post; however, he cannot attest to the makers of the stock photo attached thereto. – Owen]

A Short Treatise on Economics

We trade what we have
For what we don’t

So we work to eat
Or else, we won’t
