Some People
Some people
clean their cars,
paint and polish them.
Some people
iron their shirts,
putting razor crisp edges into the sleeves.
Some people shave their faces.
Some people
build their careers,
becoming more and more important
with each step
they take.
Some people
go to church
and can wash the sins of a weak
in one Sunday mourning.
Some people
choose to lose.
Addictions.

I really like this poem - very keen observational stuff. I love the bit 'and can wash the sins of a weak' with the mispelling of the last word to emphasise the double meanings. I also really like and 'some people choose to lose'. This is so true - it is a choice (a hard choice but still a choice). Brilliant stuff and thanks for sharing it on your blog. PS. I love what you say in your profile 'live .. with my life ...' - it says volumes about you as a person and I like it very much. This poem is in the same vein.
