The Lost Sheep of the school bus

Too easy to call, a challenge not realised

Killed off in the world class, figuratively

The worse, the better, paying through the eyeball

Not freakish, just different, solitary exposure,

Heart set on public ridicule driven home.

Hypnotised into lower planes, sexualised order,

Stared into submission, a running joke

The warring descencion doing something wrong

The prepackaged marriage gone quietly awry

Sensational walking on an occupational slight.

Perfect as it is, picking through insults

Localised hilarity a fashion decided

Watering down, changing names forever

Cigarettes running into God, another step up,

Sick and feeling stupid, open the barricades.

Watching the public detectives as the comedian

The plush insults not wasted on the person,

Picked apart by right, faltering together

No context for that smile, working to rule

Cerebral damage did the public a favour.

Stone reckonings, reasonings aborted

Consummate rejections par for the course

The daisy-chain detritus of the holy soaring

Managing the lost sheep of the school bus

Exposed through minutae, a boyfriend convenient
