Delusional hope

Summoned up

Courage enough

To read some and felt it drudgery. It wasn’t up to much.

How many likes, I wondered, then sulked.

Shocked when I looked, double took;

This tripe’s reach would turn a short-armed boxer’s stinkeye green;

Akin a righteously-preached Bible read before a prideful tribe.

Is it me dumb? Their own to each, that freedom at least,

But regarding the inkwet filling of leaves,

The tilling of still-speck tomorrow’s sheaves, they can’t compete

With me.

A flourish completes the second three.
