Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Lentil Soup Ear

Please do not try to categories me
so as in order I may fit into your own 
personal remit 

Or what box you want me to be placed

So other's can jump upon the same painted
wagon encircled in the pyrex flame's

These savage's attack with such vitriol
and vigour 

As we're they once now wishing to pay
forward for nothing more than to revenge

An eye for an eye natural enforced justice

Do unto others as others would do unto you

No 1 turns a blind eye or looks the other away

Until the day as such comes when

In the land of the blind the 1 eyed 
Man is King

And he can get away with anything

Because he alone narrates the narrative

And has everyone's ear lent

David Kavanagh July 5, 2022 at 1:59 PM Heya Christopher, I hate that ticking boxes to categorise people, I’m sure insurance companies started all this in the past, It’s all risk assessment crap, they crunch numbers so as profit margins are always in their favour, it’s now used by nearly every institution, to measure our potential or lack of it, good to see you posting again, cheers David
