How many metaphors must I contrive
to understate your cruel and cryptic spite?
How high must I fly, how deep must I dive,
to understand your vindictive delight.
.
You are not welcome and yet you arrive
out of nowhere without notice or call.
You are a parasite, dead or alive,
your crass intrusion I loathe and appall.
.
To what foul purpose do you next connive
some feckless point to explain your intent?
You are the reckless insurgent, the hive
that festers wanton waste and ill content.
.
Without good cause, you, as persistent pest
carry the stench of an unwelcome guest.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
