Don Johnson Poet Rhyme

Payback

how much suffering, do i need,
for my grasping, nastiness unsung,
how much aching payback, 4 word n deed,
before me spirit's, sprung,

escaping from this pathetic weed,
a hell on earth is yet decreed,
suffering now getting up to speed,
if i preferred, be hung:)

song of one bung lung is sung....

thank you Elizabeth Wesley,
" Emptiness of Living,".... Don

Russell Sivey March 16, 2012 at 4:53 PM Wow, what a depressive write this one is Don! I really like this line a lot, "a hell on earth is yet decreed," what a line that one really is! This is a rough write to read talking about "grasping, nastiness unsung" and "before me spirit's, sprung" and all of which this is before the death and destruction of the second stanza. Awesome poem, just a rough read my friend! Great Work!!
