My Own Demise

Being on pension I lost my freedom to think

for myself and act as I please, decide what

to do, where to go, what to say: Politics –

religion, philosophy, watering the garden

 

Replacing my stolen bicycle, buying a new

car to have it under guarantee - of course:

Being on pension I lost the ability to think,

period; I became an automaton: yes dear,

 

No dear, really dear, how wonderful dear!

HE says when we go on holiday, where &

how, when to water the garden, when we

go to the boot sale, what we watch on TV

 

As Covid 19 decrees simply no socialising

I do as He says for peace and prosperity,

for ice-cream & driving down to the Cape

and visiting – I’m growing into an Alaskan

 

Survivor; become a cannibal or be eaten

by others: Since I prefer being eaten to

eating human beings - as cannibalism

gives me the jitters - I’m eaten alive

 

And cheer my own demise
