Keorie Mcmillan Poet Free verse

This Is Weird

I walk so far I feel the heat from the desert 
I go cheap with the desperate
Keeping them guessing 
am I really alive or just feeding my image 
A lot times in my mind I’m seeing the devil 
Tempt me
But God sent me 3 books same price as the whiskey 
I still drink but I ponder on a good read

Daniel Cawley December 5, 2019 at 9:13 AM a really wonderful poem; short & tight and packs a good punchline message; a man who is a bit " lost" , shall we say, can always READ and enlighten himself with a good book, and the books are quite affordable, espclly. in thrift shops, etc. .......keep on writing, Keorie !
