He Looks So Unhappy | Vivian Helmstead

I see him on TV,
In his suit,
He looks so unhappy,
Furrowed brow,
Eyes squinting,
Tight mouth,
A guy whose parents
Made him feel worthless,
Now in a position where
He can hurt all his
Perceived enemies,
Play out all his fantasies
Of showing them
Who’s right,
A sad man doing sad things
For sad reasons.

    Thank you for this poem Vivian. This describes a lot of people who shouldn’t be in positions of power.
