"The house always wins the roulette wheel spins"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1421:

Maybe Baby

 

I come from a line of violent crime

A whiff of menace in the air

I pet my purring cat and write my rhyme

But I always remember where

I come from and who I am after all

My father was a hitman cool and tall

 

We made good money in Prohibition

The house always wins the roulette wheel spins

Even now during this Inquisition

Which is the reign of George the Second here

Another family founded on fear

But they were never cool: and now this fool

 

All I want to do is write poetry

But maybe baby best not mess with me

Where were you when Kennedy was shot? Wait, were you even born yet? I was sitting in 2nd grade class I think when the principal announced it over the speaker phone. I remember my teacher started to cry. I was too young to really understand.

Let's just hope that this is the end of the Bush dynasty. Living in Florida I can tell you first hand, Jeb is being groomed for the throne.

Quite frankly, they are all useless. Politics is the biggest confidence game in town. I'm not sure I know how we can overcome the corruption. It exists on every level of government.
