Abyss

Coyote

We’ve pissed
into the abyss
of life leaving
chaos and strife
in our wake
for the sake
of the almighty
buck.
We’ve fucked
societies dogs;
Rabid bitches
howling madly
through Autumn’s
aborted twilight,
their plight abandoned
by the clergy and
the evening news.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Penned this rant as a teenager many, many years ago. Can't remember what I was so angry about. Must have been my Jim Morrison phase... LoL

    Makes sense in todays world too though doesn't it.

    I like it C, because of its cynicism and pissedoffedness (creative use of language there: big tick? No? oh well – moving on….), but as you state, it was an early Coyote and I know you are in a different place….so come on, mate – I need cheering up….
