Another One Bites The Dust.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

another one
displays
a plaque

smiles upon
the flashes
of greatness

applause applause
applause

sweets sounds of
victory

affirmation of
little triumphs
on this tiny journey

you need it
badly man

and i support
your need


thanks and
welcome

let us take
this last drink
for the road

for the sake
of something that
we want to last
forever


i am a ripe
fruit

my wish
is to fall

i love gravity
and i am
bound to rot
in the ground


i do not need
you
and i do not
need it.
