The Trial of Sia Bucks
Character study poem exploring one of my characters.
I got a family life
that makes the Lannisters
look like Mormons.
But I must admit for
a childhood star
I think I turned out okay.
My mother always favoured
my brother over me.
I built the great well of Nigeria.
He got rejected at every college
cause his high school grades sucked.
I built an empire of TV deals.
He plays ancient games on computers.
I even made my own country.
He’s just lowly church pastor.
So how the hell is he getting all the glory?
I got pregnant six times with my ex-husband
But only Harumi survived.
He cheated on me with a robot
From a distance it looks like a real woman
He named her Takako
Then he divorced me
to marry that robot.
He said robots have feelings
and I said that’s bullshit
So he conspired with his politician friends
and got me banned from Japan.
Yuzuko, my precious granddaughter
All the things you been through
You’re already better than me
I bet they never told you that
your granddad swapped your
twin brother for a crate of beer
Ever since I was twelve I was a star
Lead singer of Pussy*Pussy*Meow*Meow
cause our manager said cats are awesome.
It’s funny they call me a terrorist
If I had a dick
they’ve call me a genius
and a business legend
Women have come a long way
But there’s still so much work to be done
