O, Brother!

Christina8

We're all headed to the same place

Why do you think you're better than I?

You can drive a fabulous Mercedes

But inevitably, you too, will die

 

The importance of appearances

Are not as pressing as you think

You think you can buy love

And that your shit doesn't stink

 

In earnest, losing you was great

I'm serious, I've not one regret

With all the shit you've put me through

But there are so many things I don't get

        My God this is legendary. The lines “You can drive a fabulous Mercedes / But inevitably, you too, will die” – pretty much sums it up perfectly. While some may say “good riddance,” my Southern sass says “Bye, Felicia!” Lol.

          Thank you Rocky for your kind comments and reading this poem. I mean, he buys lavish vacations and things....but you can't take it with you! We all came in the same and will go out basically the same. I like your Southern sass!

          Be happy my friend and feel free of encumberance. When you feel good in heart and mind that's what counts.

          • Christina8

            I totally agree. Thanks for your kind comments and for reading my poem.

              Nice to see a bit of passion on my 1st read in a while

              His loss

              • Christina8

                Thanks so much for your wonderful reply, haven't heard from you in a while. Yeah, I need to get back to poetry. And believe me, it was and still is his loss indeed!
