'Beer Song of Depression'


‘Beer Song of Depression’

Deep in a quilt
Nose inhaling the evaporated scent
Of  day’s guilty work.
Purging the planet of minerals or ore

Transmogrified mineral, raped planet
Broken stones fall like tears in my mind
Grieving widow earth pregnant with sorrow
Timeless as a bleeping alarm clock

Pulling on cords to cover pants of
The sincerest pulchritude. Man packet proud
Smile at the face by the door
Pink, tie gripped neck, away!

Work of deep meaning gives way to
Inconsequential tea break
E:mails await keen to be written
To conquer the world like a Trojan

Days run like this in century 21
Men tricked by the telly and the
Equalsising oestrogen of liberalism
Lives based on quality of money

We envy the trump
Fear the lump
Bow to the sump
Our heart is a pump.
