Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

Making Things Up As You Know

Goodbye 
Little white lie 
Watching a person breakdown and cry 
It starts off innocent enough 
But in the end accusations could be rough 
Some brag 
While flipping through the tabloid mag 
Is it a fantasy trip? 
Wanting control planning life’s script 
Throwing words around 
Social leaders in the town 
Spewing sensitive results 
Bitterness showing up as insults 
Ignoring injuries and who’s at fault 
Sounding good neighbors’ impress 
Gullible audience avoiding a mess 
Is it all right blurring the truth? 
Disregarding any credible proof 
Or is it a comfort act 
If handled properly with tact 
Staging area a better place 
To explain their case 
There is a way 
Fiction does pay 
Write a book 
Develop a plot, imagine a hook 
Add character ingredients like a cook 
Cast a line 
Worth a dime 
Reader will interpret the message in their own mind 
Fish around and a scene will come 
Antagonist lose, protagonist won 
Sweet or stinks 
Authored works will make one think 
A paperback writer 
Is a turn page fighter 
Letting everyone know 
Putting on a one on one show 
Battling a foe? 
Let it go 
Pick up the pen 
Unleash the internal creative gem 
Address it to the publisher, attach and send 
Waiting for the reviews hoping they defend 
Earning a few bucks not caring when
