Sonnet 75 The Golden One

american memes and philosophies

tell us that we should dream and not accept

the time comes you know you won’t find the keys

and it’s thirty years since you should have leapt

even the young ones are finding doors closed

hungry people now are standing in line

and we all are feeling that we’ve been hosed

i can’t risk losing what little is mine

so accept the truth, you silly old crone

you won’t be discovered at sixty three

and that man won’t change and pick up the phone

thank the Gods for being well fed and free

we made our art and bedded some beauties

let’s laugh and forget ambition’s duties
