If you haven’t heard of Corey of the Clown Rhymes blog, do yourself a favor and go check him out. His poetry is cool and he runs a poetry challenge that is open to all. The theme this week is “A Letter to Myself.” Here is my take on the topic.
A Letter to Myself
Dear Jasmine,
I’m writing this letter to whom it may concern
I’ve been dying to ask, dying to question
Who DO you think you are?
You describe yourself as
Righteous and pious, a God-fearing woman
I object
You’re none of these things
You’re no more righteous than deviant Johns
Perusing alleyways for cheap thrills
Who DO you think you are?
You are no more pious than a self-serving preacher,
Pimping the
“Word of God” for a shiny new car
You are no God-fearing than a loathsome drug dealer
Selling powdered Hell in a vial
You are no more of a woman
Than the slut down the street,
Who opens hers legs in hopes of catching a break
You’re no better than any of these folks
At least they know who they are
You’re fraudulent, phony, fake
No more real than a desert mirage
Perhaps one day you’ll find yourself
Until then – on with the show!
I must say I’m enjoying the theatrics
Sincerely,
Your soul
