Devastation

"DEVASTATION"


Glenn Gould wrote countless
masterpieces.

I listen daily.

imagine if he had married, 
if he had had children, 
if he had listened to every 
piece of bull-**** given to 
him by the one that would 
claim she loved him.

imagine he had stopped 
composing because he was 
told he wasn't paying 
attention to her feelings.

imagine he had stopped 
composing because he wasn't 
giving her what she needed.
 
imagine he had stopped 
                     composing. 
imagine he had stopped 
                             composing. 
imagine he had stopped 
                                     composing. 

imagine he had stopped for love.
 
imagine all you'd like 
but 
even Lennon had limits.

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 8, 2017 at 9:57 AM Very gritty and pointed poem, Chicano. A clever and witty ending to this hard edged poem. Strong poetry. Love and peace forever.
