A raving and a craving,
False penchant for misbehaving,
A need and a greed,
Healthy appetite to feed.
A fool for your fuel,
Just a dealers' broken tool,
A must for a bust,
Or your soul will turn to rust.
A joke for your smoke,
So the demons won't evoke,
Play J. Beadle for your needle,
Steal some bread (or one more wheedle)
Just a sot for your pot,
And the 'high' you havent got,
Out of whack for your smack,
And the nirvana that you lack.
Goodbye wife, that's just life,
(Bitch can't take a little strife,)
Nothing left, Just bereft,
Life has pinned you in it's cleft.
Lying prone, in the zone,
Got no money, sold your phone,
Drifting free, sights to see,
No-one here, just 'it' and me.
Descending slow, to the low,
And back to hell once more we go,
Reality greeting, cycle repeating,
Morals, manners and sense defeating.
Life now dull, meanings null,
Devil pounding in your skull,
Railroad track, arms and back,
When's the express coming back?
Spare some change, Sir? Pleeeaaaseeeeee!!

Ok, well I actually like a lot of your poems and I only comment on any poems I BASICALLY like even if they ain't perfect or my cup of tea. Seeing as you are so nit-picking with mine (in a nice way of course:-) For me (just my opinion which is very humble) I think you overuse the word "A". I don't like "or your soul will turn to rust" forced IMHO :-) and a cliche. Also, I don't understand "joke for your smoke" verse. Fifth verse the word "it" doesn't quite seem to fit (pardon the unforced rhyme!) Also the last line kills it for me I thought there would be a stronger ending.
Actually it is a really good poem, but we can all do with some honest critiquing can't we

Very Nice!
Your reply to my poem 'Marble-Finish Myopia' being both articulate and accurate has prompted me to stop by and see what you were about. It is interesting to note the parallels between the two poems, as this also seems to be a list of things which ultimately makes a note on the decadence of society by allowing the reader to draw his/her own conclusion. De ja vu!
