The Man isn't always out to get me

The Man
John Kennedy

I went to Wawa awhile ago to eat
and learned that The Man eats meat.

What? Yes The Man eats college kids to satisfy
his quest for power, oh my!

Under his watchful eye I longed to leave the store;
what is he watching me for?

On my way out, I dented his shiny cruiser
And said, “Get a life, loser.”

After that, I wanted to see The Man’s madness
but all I saw was sadness.

Hiding behind some shrubs, I saw his dour face -
tears streaming to my disgrace.

On a pedestal, The Man was so strong and grand
and now he is just the man.

    I am taking a Creative Poetry class and we are really kicking some ass. It's been great so far.

    Hey I hope you continue writing poetry here, whether it's under a different name or whatever feels comfortable. Sometimes we should all take a step back and realize that the main reason we are all here is to share poetry, prose, and our own music! Let's just do that! :)
