Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Too Busy Ranting

How do I drown out
The dimwitted stupidity
Of your foolhardy rants

The halfwitted folly of your absurdity
The madness of your lunacy
Who in heaven’s name
Do you think you’re fooling

You’re so generous with disparaging remarks
What have you ever accomplished
How dare you pretend to sit up on a throne
While having the audacity to dismantle
To nitpick what others have achieved

Only losers don’t accomplish a thing
because they’re too busy ranting

Don’t you know
Grownups
Don’t do that
Please
It’s not too late
Grow up, kiddo
