Spoiled Baby Boomers

By Charles Amarack

The souls of our children
hunch ripple-ribbed
like stray cats

lapping the regurgitation
of our success.


Like the lone super-drunk
crying out against the dark bar

for one last drink after last call
we reach for the loans that fill our wallets.


Enormous hinges creak from the weight
while the cathedral fills our ears

with the prayed out remnants
of our greedy dreams.


Swing the doors out wide
to greet earth begging in the streets

of our illusions.

Go back to your campfires.
