Judge Mental People

Judge Mental People


throwing rocks at crippled dogs
torturing non-classroom frogs
wallowing in self made bogs
pure jealously – non-feral hogs
consuming nothing but the same
the daily slop, a little grain
the grayish mud a match for brain
an open gate too much a strain
peering from their darkened sty
envying the darting fly
suspicious of the black crows cry
entrenched in deep snouted lie
believing that their bloated shrieks
elevate such brutish freaks
to tops of clear sky bluish peaks
to trash the goals that others seek
warriors without a soul
fighting from deep in a hole
guarding the emptiness they stole
mocking the songs of bridgeless troll

Love the clever title my friend. Congratulations on your win in Brenda's contest. True, perhaps with some it is a mental problem that they seek to strike out at others for no reason at all. Tis best to forgive and move on...

That's quite a write. Of course, I loved the fact that rhyme held the whole thing together. The analogy is strong. Surely those who wallow in mud can't expect to have clean names or reputations. To be honest...the TITLE was just a work of art. Got me with that one. :)
