Honest Gabe

by Amerimov   Sep 24, 2004


Honest Gabe is a decent man
Who lives his life as best he can
And Steven Averageguy is an average guy
Who gets up in the morning and puts on his tie
While Gary Religious looks up to the sky
And prays

Honest Gabe moves from day to day
Keeping existence sacred in his own little way
And Steven Averageguy plows through his life with an iron will
Works hard all day so he can come home and pay the bills
As Gary Religious gets down on his knees
And prays

Honest Gabe grows ever older
His warm little world turning ever colder
Steven Averageguy has already died
Leaving behind his unfulfilled mind
While Gary Religious looks up to the sky
And prays

    1st.. ignore the rating.. I am finding that the majority of readers on this site have specifics ideas of what poetry is and is not... they seem to eat up the oh-so-sweet love poetry. i tend to think this is incredibly creative and original.. i also like he simplicity of stanzas and rhyme.. works well with what you are trying to say (as does naming the characters what you have). given the other poems you have submitted.. you show a versatility here that is refreshing.
