The Bitter Men

R.M. ENGELHARDT POET AUTHOR WRITER

THE BITTER MEN

Bitter men
Write bitter poems
Write bitter words
Thus the world learns
Of it’s own desolation

When what was
Once sacred once
True is diminished
By apathy & avarice

Greed &
Wealth

For
Bitter men
Write bitter poems
Write bitter words
Thus the world learns
Of it’s own desolation

But the bitter men
All usually drop dead
Before anyone notices
Truth

Lost

For the bitter men
Saw their world crumble
Beneath them saw
The destruction of time

And in it’s wake?

The living all
Still remain

Clinging

To hope

Still dreaming
