No Publishers Seem Interested Poem by Hebert Logerie

No publishers seem interested
That's the naughty reaction that poets
And writers get, unless they are like puppets
Recovered drug addicts, or contaminated
By an unknown disease
Ladies and gentlemen, that's how it is.

No editors seem interested
About decency, good manners, and love stories
They are into dirt, lies, gossips, and inanities
Sometimes poets feel sad and disgusted
Jerks and weirdos do better
They are indeed more popular.

No companies seem interested
Too much truth is not good for business
Accountability is at the bottom of the list
Well known liars are not properly vetted
They are powerful due to immunity and inaction
And that's the genesis of corruption.
