You frolic with playful abandon <br />Oblivious to obligation <br />Such wobbly legs prove hard to stand on <br />Chameleon charmed by temptation <br /> <br />I don't know why your halo's all bent <br />Your soul's complaint argues so brassy <br />Can't pay rent when your money gets spent <br />Once vibrant jewels bloodshot and glassy <br /> <br />Butterfly flapping with tart contempt <br />Degenerate goals rot away hope <br />Your daughter grieves with each failed attempt <br />She cries each time you roll down that slope <br /> <br />Cheap glutton for wanton attention <br />That hot spotlight withers your pert face <br />The clock chimes with mortal dissension <br />Until there's nothing left to erase <br /> <br />Snuffing your fire while quenching your thirst <br />You disconnect from honest matters <br />The mirror displays why you've been cursed <br />Indolence shreds your core to tatters<br /><br />John Weber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/josie-s-last-call/
