Though an atheist..

please oh lord brace and fix me with monetary salvation


After umpteen times being swindled

reducing me to abject poverty

psyche of mine

broke into a bajillion little pieces
much like Humpty Dumpty

grim outlook spells
forlorn and foregone conclusion,

thus I beseech
all knowing omniscient creator

to rescue me

from the pitfalls of eternal damnation,
where pendulum wildly swings
in one direction of doom

sabotaging sanity and solvency
wreaking havoc analogous
to kamikaze missionaries
intent on suicide missions

blasting dystopian fiery hellhole
loosing tenuous grip upon
ramparts of mental stability
maligning foolhardy behavior

guaranteeing surefire wreckage
abominable demons hellbent
to annihilate with brutal devastation

cents and sensibility
blitzkrieg makes mincemeat
feast for grim reaper

cue apropos soundtrack
where grateful dead

cavort with calamity, jollity
and rapacity of a Robinhood run amuck

robbing the poor
to enrich the gluttonous plutocrats

impossible mission to seize the day

when nary a handy dandy blue\'s clue extant

resigning yours truly
to live in a bleak house

imprisoning prodigal son
witnessing him spinning out
the days of his life as the world turns

reviling himself while flagellating
suppressing anguished cries of tortured soul
accepting deserved punishment

sentenced to penile solitude

where cri de coeur falls on deaf ears

after he repeatedly though unwittingly
committed fraud against himself

depleting meager monetary resources

leaving bone dry balance

whereby corpse dangles lifelessly
come take a swing at body electric

left to hang for all posterity

as grim example

against being blindly inquisitive

indiscriminately clicking
arbitrary tabs on cellphone
and adversely exploiting
deliverance from the poor house

abandoned by the wife

for countless transgressions

less so of amorous infidelity
(although that too a factor
in meted out comeuppance)

alone in an emotional wilderness

he whiles away pitiful existence

growing old and feeble minded
housed within unit b44

not longer grooving to bliss

merely marking time
upon grime encrusted floor
a multipurpose space

doubling up as sleeping quarters

and evacuation of bodily waste
no longer caring
about keeping up appearances

cause nobody cares to visit

once upon a time fool on the hill

long forgotten from messengers of hope

thus consigned to an anonymous death
subsequently cremated

with ashes scattered to the four winds.
