179 Degrees

A happy poem....yeah.

179 Degrees

 

You squeegee my feelings from your safety glass windshield, cracked

Throw them into an ever cooling stew of my emotions

The smell sometimes sweet, sometimes desperate

Doled out one at a time, in ultra-conservative portions

 

Do you smell that?

God damn it…..

Emotionally obtuse, one hundred and seventy nine degrees

If you would turn and face your own destruction

You would see

That Rome is burning

And I am the keeper of the water

You my dear, will make an exceptional pile of ash.

Great angered write. Haha, I love the last three lines.

[Nianque]

I feel the anger. The last three lines are powerful. If that doesn't tell them you are angry I don't what will. Great write.

Well now, a little retribution here, a little anger enveloped in cleverly crafted phrases.

'That Rome is burning ~ And I am the keeper of the water'. Emotionally obtuse for sure.

You inevitably hit the nail on the head and certainly have with this one ..
