A grifter's mind with a poet's heart,
he wrote words that could tear you apart.
To capture moonlight, he made his goal,
but his songs came from cracks in his soul.
Sometimes he wrote of a sordid life,
of keeping his thoughts in words of strife.
Then, traded those words for stars instead,
as he followed paths where moonlight led.
Not one to study, yet books engrossed.
He was intrigued by words the most.
They seemed to leap from page to mind.
He took them and left a verse behind.
He had found the magic that occurred
within Earth's wonder, with but a word.
He took beauty from all he could see,
then left behind just his poetry.
A lone grifter, he was from the start,
finding his way, just playing his part.
Then found the words so lovely to see.
Touched our hearts, a rare poet was he.

He was deceiver, cheater, bluffer, imposter at best
A beguiler, charlatan, pettifogger, you know the rest…
All of our family fortune is now wiped out, gone.
Due to this sleazy grifter, Mr. Lee Wron.

she smelled of unstable
an upgrade from offline
like a magnet folded in two
she had me sputtering over gutters
whenever she was looking for action
there was no getting bored
i was but one of a billions souls
who's timing was all wrong
it's a wonder i ever belonged
i was readily decomposed
changed into another compound
waffling like an improper synonym
and then she asked me for money
something about poweraving
i heard gaslight rhythms
and my PTSD set in
i put her in a cage
she never asked again

================================
You snuck into our House as a fraud,
ran amok through our values rough shod
and made 'witch hunts' the sitch,
because YOU ARE A WITCH.
But now, you've been evicted, THANK GOD!
