To Beef Or Not To Beef

I’m a free spirit rising a freethinker dreaming Stoically climbing the surreal limbo bar, But I don’t know why i’m no bright spark for split seconds on fire lighting up the dark Yet we have one with burning aspirations peers into his own sky it goes over most heads Just like mother earth oh that monster who never shared a bed Unresurrected yet alive drones from a hive uniformity in his wardrobe reminds me of a Gucci slave in fox fur skin self imposed virgin His yellow ribbon tie, symbolic of no hope tourniquet for the throat leers around corners peers over the edge paranoid with multifaceted sides seen through opaque eyes equals the root of Pi r squared be careful not to stare Does his hell refuse lepers can I comment without being masked stop me spreading gossip through questions I ask, Searching for answers or setting traps they come thick and fast But like always with many gaps Cast out of Eden for the beef he’s eaten an iPhone heathen Doesn’t know when beaten perhaps tofu can sweeten the Shakespearian cretin By David Kavanagh

Hi David, I sense the strong feeling behind your words but just unsure who they are directed to. A politician? A world leader? a PS contributor? Whatever, whoever it stands alone as a great read. Cheers - Gary

Not really a contributor Gary lol, has absolutely nothing to offer other than allusive mocking diatribes towards the soup community, even a recently departed one, seems to hate all things human I’m sure you’re getting warm now, but notwithstanding all that, I’m delighted you enjoyed the read, it must seem quite intriguing and curious to an oblivious reader, and that makes it even better for me, cheers David

This is me Pangie, I stand my ground against these haters, and this one is particularly hell bent on all human destruction!

Heya Pangie, thank you for stopping by, this is for one who dreams about the complete destruction of mankind, a nihilist I suppose, cheers David

Could you be referring to Malvolio of Twelfth Night? A poem to be digested to get to the tangle hub of poetry.

Morning Victor, No Twelfth Night I’m afraid, just one much nearer to home who fancies himself as a modern day Shakespeare, with a self deluded Machiavellian agenda against all things human, cheers David

David, your way of thinking is like a web of metaphors containing obscure thoughts, that sometimes, need to be read several times to grasp it. Your final stanza is an indictment of the sentiments of a person whose words disclose the phony regard he displays.

Phoney regards indeed Lasaad, from one that has a pathological hatred of all things human, but cannot do a thing about it other than mock and scoff, he will be faced down on this site, cheers David

David, your last verse is a conversion on the senses of one whose lines betray any respect he claims to show. His foul winds blow where Shakespeare would never tread.

Heya Jenna, it’s always the same old bluster from him, I’m sure a good leg of mutton would help calm him down, the last verse brings it home, Shakespeare had much better things to be doing than this guy, cheers David
