Free Cee a Novel of Negativity

A NOVEL OF NEGATIVITY Things happen to me the best fiction writer couldn’t dream up You could fit all my good luck in a child’s doll house tea cup If bad luck had teeth I’d have a torso marred by festering scars And for me there’s only wishing on a sky full of sterile and impotent stars My life is a badly written novel like they sell in second hand bookstores I lose every miserable match while the hero of the team constantly scores The words in my novel make no sense to anyone with any sense And to me God and good luck are merely the essence of a pretense I try for things that seem possible for a man like me to reach But in the contract I have with heaven there seems to be a breach I pray to a guardian angel who must be deafened to my pleas As I simply stand aside waiting to see what disappointment decrees My prayers are perceived as paltry and my dreams are all too deceptive While the Lord I pray to nightly disrespects me and remains unreceptive That guardian angel I mentioned resides in a land I cannot find As my further failure and future were all summarily redefined My life is a scene of seedy places and traces of all the hope I have lost And that cheap novel in a second hand bookstore has been radically reduced in cost I worry not that someone will plagiarize me since it’s a story no one would steal In any event the publisher of tawdry tales and stories always backs out of the deal © 2012…copyright PHREEPOETREE..~free cee!~
