Here it is!
the last round-up
the last go-around
the end of a chapter
the straw that broke my back
Your lack of love
your lack of caring or anything
remotely resembling gratitude
You have pilfered away your good health
your legacy and
your economic wealth
for the immediate pleasures of
Booze
Tobacco
and the lack of awareness they bring
I know it’s an illness
I know you can’t help it
I know the treatments didn’t work for you
But know this
Watching you go the same way as our parents
watching you in and out of hospitals
with life-threatening crises
bankruptcy and foreclosure
And the total disregard you have
for the consequences of your actions
has pushed my compassion to the brink
forced my psyche to go numb
and out of self-survival
made this
the last go-around for us
