Replying to a comment on:
unheeded (Free verse) by Skamper
Thankyou for your concern
about my chosen habit
warnings taken fairly well
all things considered
Thanks a bunch
for alienation
Iâd forgotten myself
and my place
for a minute
Thanks for creating
something to fill
the vacuum
left by an overdose
of politically correct brainwashing
to cleanse us
of prejudice
and did this very procedure
remove also
our inhibitions toward
being offensive
But, there is another side
another round of
giving thanks â
thanks
for making it cool again
for taking the very reason
we started
and using it
in what you thought was inspired
sadly -
you became my parents
So â
I sit in my bedroom
similar yet different
to the first one 30 years ago
with the fan on
the window open which Iâm Facing
blowing
clouds
through
the flyscreen
And â
I take great pleasure
in announcing
I feel the thrill again
