Cloaked in disguises <br />In the alley of thieves, <br />I’m violently tested and seeking reprieves <br />From tortuous days <br />Of casual deceptions <br />And blatant lies, <br />But Luna and youth <br />Have disappeared <br />And I remain despised <br />By all the suits <br />And their well-paid alibis. <br /> <br />The loveliest women <br />Will spit in your eyes, <br />And the men I trust the most <br />Refuse to shave <br />And dress like rogues, <br />And my best friends <br />Are always broke <br />Looking for a lonely lady <br />With a nice room <br />And spare cash, <br />Never expecting joy to last. <br /> <br />Alright, you’re with Nicky <br />Holed up in a goddamned cave! <br />But does he read Baudelaire? <br />Does he lose his fingers in your hair? <br />Does he cry, lonely and drunk, <br />Holding the shoes you used to wear? <br />You’re not going to find <br />Another pirate like me, <br />Piss in the face of destiny <br />To merely touch your wrist!<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/piss-in-the-face-of-destiny/
