Day 82 - Book Inspired

 BOOK INSPIRED


Prompt - Book Inspired : Think of your favourite book.  Now write a poem that sums up the entire story in 10 lines.


Inspired by Catch-22


Cathcart tells the boys that they have to keep on doing the biz

The danger will all be theirs, all the glory will be his

Milo says business is best, he even pretends to care

But they all end up losing, though everyone has a share

Nately's Whore was cold and callous, then her beau crashed from above

All her fury, sadness, passion, struck wildly sharp through lack of love 

Yossarian just wants his life back, there's too much fear for any fun

He's done his bit, but the system, forces him off on the run

The Old Man knows the real truth, the things that let him keep alive

There are no winners in a war, the only prize is to survive
