Just a Dumb Jock

not easy to turn the other cheek;

the lies,

the hypocrisy,

the greed,

the self-righteousness;

the inability to see past the

small, little world in which

we live,

unable to accept the insignificant,

little lives that we live;

turning meaningless, man-made

monuments and religions into

works of glory,

celebrating myths that

crumble into dust,
like the mists of vapor

who created them;

worshipers of the creation,

mockers of the creator;

high school drama teachers,

in love with the sound

of their own voice,

you never fooled me then,

you do not fool me now;

I saw you for what you were then,

I see you for what you are now.
