Poetry by Margaret Williams
Angry Spirited Neighgro
Angry spirited Neighgro
With the brilliant mind
And heart of stone
Victim of the big yellow attraction
Constantly stirring up dramas
Does the stillness of my house
Disturb you?
Angry spirited Neighgro
Cocky, confident,
Futuristic
Visualizing and realizing
Material goals
Too young to know
No man's an isle
When your work day ends
And the sun descends,
Where are your friends?
Angry spirited Neighgro
Relentlessly idolizing
And glossing
Your fancy orange car
And spit-shined
Chrome hupcaps
Always home, alone,
Playing games
What causes your rage?
Sorrows of yesterdays?
Angry spirited Neighgro
Wallowing in the past
And spending too much time
Provoking
And wrestling with
The callous direction of your life
Who do you want?
What do you want?
