Feeding the Gods
.
by F William Broome 2006
.
Intense living plucks youth
like ripening inedibles
too delicious to pass up
while feasting on illegals
taking to bed shall nots
scorning all warnings
of losing health job and family
from indulgence and bad karma
in a mad multi-tasking world
feeding on forbidden fruit
chasing false gods
on the way to money


(Please note: first written in 2006)

Bill, you tell this story so well. It's one that is familiar

Hi Bill, this reminds me of a book called "American Gods". Love the truth of this writing, but that's what writing is about. Thanks for sharing this...

In Spirit,
