DAMN THE IRONY

DAMN THE IRONY

after judgement, trial
by jury of my peers

boiling and bubbling
ended up in Hell

out
   of my comfort zone
yet (blessedly) in one
of the outer circles

the rest of my kin
however
      skillfully managing
to do much better for themselves

if not
lap of luxury certainly
all the nod cons

sport, soaps, reality TV, soft
rock, death metal
full
   English breakfast
reruns of those
immortal comedies

whilst to release endorphins
and cling to
my wicked socialist
principles, need to
be creative
    and establish a
sense of community

gave recitals of poetry that
might
    give my belived fellow
danned some cheer

not for a moment
supposing
      it would add not
detract
from their suffering

only so much
      bad art a soul
can take

unsolicited poetry a
being can bear

irony
    being the ultimate bitch
damn
   the irony!
