The Web Poetry Corner - Richard Betts Jr. - Weary

Weary

by

Richard Betts Jr.

I am exhausted listening
To the litany of lies.
I am sick of seeing the world
Through bleary, bloodshot eyes.

I am tired of being bombarded
And force-fed all the baloney.
I am fatigued by the false promises,
Spoken from the lips of fakers and phonies.

I am so worn out from feeling
Heartsick and hurt,
Every time we bury another victim
Into the unforgiving dirt.

I am sick of the con men
Running the show.
Who, in the middle of July,
Promise they can make it snow.

When I was younger,
I was idealistic and cheery.
But, my God, this world
Makes me feel so wounded and weary.
