Bastards

There are bastards in the world,
too many of them for my liking,
but they don’t care about my likes
or dislikes for they are bastards.

Bastards!!
Hollowed out beings filled with a
pus green aura of
disdain.

Bastards!!
Scumbags, callous miscreants,
lousy, scuzzball, son-of-a-bit-chin,
sleazebag weasels.

Bastards!!
Villainous,
snake in the grass rogues,
reprobate swine, spineless, jellylike,
amorphous lowlife scoundrels,

Bastards!!

Sometimes, John, it’s important to speak your mind… now… would you care to elaborate? Ha ha… I SO get ya. They seem to be everywhere and I’m sure they’re mating. Be afraid! Terry

John tell us how you feel. Don't hold back. Just vent my friend. John I feel the same way sometimes this world is upside down. Hope you are doing well after releasing your thoughts. Thanks for sharing...

Too many! None to our liking but too many to deal with! Tirade galour!

I originally wrote this in 2013......and my feelings about a lot of things haven't been altered much by the tides of society and politics.

John,I love this.}}}} You let it rip in this one and these creeps are all over the planet! Posing as perfect souls, is the horrible part. And the gullible adore them? Looks like you have your feet on the ground. I so admire the fearlessness you exhibit. An above average poem. Pangie
