PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Crumpled up paper towel 

and beer caps

lay on an end table

suggesting a lifestyle

of decadence and laziness

and anything but

the puritanical madness

espoused by witch hunters in Salem.

and yet I listen to Bob Marley

espouse Rastafarian belief

and still harbor

minute traces of hope

for the eventual salvation

of mediocre humankind
