Misguided Confessor ~ Friday, 12 January 2018

Does it not make me sick 
In the depths of my soul 
when the President lies 

Ask me why I would care 
about American 
political process 

Me of all the people 
you yourself could question 
a foreign-born moron 

Not just a citizen 
of the United States 
but a man who could rise 

Engage the leadership 
not as a journalist 
but as a professor 

Damned be philosophy 
I finished my degree 
but need two more to speak 

Devil In the details 
forced to work in retail 
but for twenty-two years 

Obviously I teach 
no one profess nothing 
for this I must confess 

Catholic from my birth 
I gave God up for Lent 
the whore of Babylon 

Told me to leave the Church 
of my childhood and read 
the Scriptures on my own 

Obviously I read 
all world scriptures as one 
misguided confessor 

Reading Buddhist sutras 
uncovered the meaning 
of birth and death I seek 

Golden years in a land 
where I find my exile 
from my birthplace cause tears 

Only in heartbroken 
people who can't return 
for financial reasons 

Leave me to figure out 
the mystery of time 
as a phenomenon 

Doctor to nobody 
without the means to grow 
who'll throw this dog a bone 

Only that person knows 
they have the means to help 
me weather the seasons 

Take back the government 
I couldn't care less truth
be told I stay withdrawn
