Really Refra's

Keith

It’s a scene from the Last Supper

A suppuration of a sad situation

A bleeding of breath

Human touches in a real bar

With real souls

No fakery here

And not much money

As such

But honesty talks.

If you want to live

Live here

Where life is really lived

Because the moment is all

Where wide eyed waiters

Work the floor

And no smooth operators

Spoil the score

There’s a perfect pitch here

A seismic roll of reality

Louder than drums

Of what really, actually matters

In a fast and plastic world

Of commerciality

Refra’s stands as a beacon

Of normality

Of a life lived properly.

    'No fakery here
    And not much money
    As such
    But honesty'..
    funny
    how this line, is oft
    turned upside down
    when money is abundant
    and yet
    majority of us
    make it our goal in life, to prioritise
    the accumulation of money
    above all else...
    (loved the reflective tone
    and insightful commentary
    a lovely read, dear poet)
    setting it in the Pub
    makes it, that much more relatable
    'in my humble opinion'
    thanks for sharing
