The Unemployed Youth by Alvanosky: 1:31pm On Jan 17, 2015 |
An erudite prodigy, hatted, waving his prize Five years of toil now seems a worthy price Soon frustration is served as cold as ice Alas in anger he tears at his hair as if for lice Dreams shattered, disillusioned yearns falter Shoe heels beg to be tortured no further Myriad prayer abode so complex they don't suffice The Heavens only help those with an office Despondent, my goodman resigns to fate Forlorn attempts can't help restore his faith. Mind gloats in the slough of despair Trauma of the psyche soothing words can't repair Frantic efforts are made to erase ghost of jobs past Being the devil's workshop as long as can last Idling and tapping away on some game pad Mentally skewed and psychoemotionally tampered Arthur Guinness' dark empty vessels left to sprawl The juicer is juiced up having a comic scowl Mama's pot dries up in involuntary service to the glutton His lazy bones chowed Mama's mutton. |
