Sweet Victory That For Seconds Last


     ~Sweet Victory That For Seconds Lasts~



Where is the satisfaction, that so silent be?
As still as the bark of a dead old tree.

Where are your friends, or so they say?
Floating ever so selfishly on Indifference Bay?

Of your happiness and victory, they could care less.
Being forever unfriendly, you fool you, in naive ruthlessness!

This is your moment in time, to pencil them out.
For a true friend, shares your heart and with victory does openly shout!

This  poet too small of mind to congratulate you,no, not ever!
Must have no muse plus a heart made of the stiffest leather.

They bandy about the Soup, with greatest arrogance.
To crush your poetic dreams, must be their ill defense.

Well~ You are not invisible to me!
Just bloated poets fooling some with heartless treachery.

Then write of peace and love on the planet?
Please keep these from me, Lord...the unbearable arrogant.

There is nothing worse to make your blood boil than sheer arrogance. Just ignore them Panagiota. Tom

Hey, Tom! Thanks for being the one replier to this poem. I thought of deleting it, heck no. I like it. I have to be true to myself. Pangie

Will do as you say. I think they love looking in the mirror admiring themselves only. So sad to see immature adults. Remind me of little girls who win fashion shows. Tee Hee.. Panagiota
