A Soulless Acrostic Sonnet

Assholes abound even on Medium

Some even assert to have reached thousands

Souls and more souls, necklace of tedium

Soulless devil’s backbone, dad-of-thousands

O English grammar lost without a soul

Under the pretext of freedom for all

Laughing to a cry in a little chest

After an ego refusing to spell

Suddenly to believe we are all blessed

Soul to soul lawyering the empty shell

Sucker yourself you piece of human shit

Overbearing imbecile dressed in quills

Leveraging love against your lack of wit

Everybody dies with both soles in bills

-----

The caged ass at the top seems to have more soul that the “free” one below. It is a simple rationalisation, of course. Yet, an ass is an ass, and some assholes are more than one.
