Two Days Ago Poem by James McLain

Above those that do and yet remaining beneath
those whom lack that certain conviction.
The mistake that's made twice was done to
hide the first one.
Ninty nine percent of them need to be led
the rest meandered aimlessly.
A certain since of bravado is needed
to part the wise from your money.
Those whom need no help at all are generally
the most helpless amongst you.
Having been severely traumatized we tend
to hide in our dark room.
Having little to no modesty kept landing
me in jail.
Not being able to understand this parted me
from all I once owned.
Untreated bi-polar women are like those cat's
that could never catch a squirrel.
While severe depression is not unlike war
that is fought always in the dark.
Love is like cream that can't rise to the top
being trapped in the middle.
Gossip's are lazy people always starting trouble.
Opinionated ignorance is lost in stupidity.
So here he was not unlike me always alone
I am through with the bottle.
So I called my ex - wife and nothing had changed
I still love her.
