Societal Car Crashes – Written Wednesday 22nd March 2023 (Aged 48)

Societal Car Crashes

walking wounded
casualties,
some put on make up
some bathe in broken hope
some vape
some smoke
dad resents,
and his guidance has eloped
never coped
could not paint his own emotions
and then,
broke the easel
now seen in the woods hiding out
with the other weasels
walking wounded
victims,
accidents in time
filter faces
lives that never shine
emotionally corrupt
intelligence a gamble
and always bankrupt
what to do,
with these societal car crashes
these defunct parents
they hit hard,
at all of our systems




James Garratt – Wednesday 22nd March 2023
