Pompeii

Sometimes I feel like such a jerk To hear friends talk of long lost work Few leave their homes All had good jobs From nine to five Just working slobs When all is really said and done Where was real life? Where was the fun? So as the years now just roll by And no one really cares a bit To hear these has beens spew their wit.

The title makes this work intriguing. Are you saying your friends are buried in old ash and lava (their personal surroundings and experiences) waiting to be unearthed?

Pompeii signifies the ruins of a once productive active society.......my poem signifies the demise of men once part of a productive active society.
