SHADES OF TIGER (MY LETTER TO MARIA SHRIVER ABOUT HER POOR EXCUSE OF A HUSBAND)

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

Dearest Maria
you could not have known
how your 'CONAN' husband
possessed 'Shades Of Tiger'
and now truly a terminator
he has become
to the world
so over blown
a sick caricature of himself
proving to the masses
that cads cannot atone
but drive painful wedges between
those and themselves they love
publicly apologizing for
a decade of prior sins
now over grown
abandon this burnt meadow
my dear lady
and clear for yourself a path
to a much cleaner, healthier horizon
leave the tainted soil
of that polluted marriage ground
that has only
to this very date
preached fraud
for you are a woman
you are strong
and you have grace
along with a backbone of
the purest form of steel
your integrity in all of this
is flawless
he is now but a slug
lurking forever in your shadow............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I found myself further sickened by the latest details leaked to the media about California's last Governor ( I don't even wish to refer to him by name) my heart went out to Maria so I wrote this poem/letter to her in attempt to ease my disgust aimed at him and bloom some hope in lieu of my deeper pity for her.
