Sonnet Nr.01 — Man of the People

   
   
This man sees clearly through slithery bull    
he cuts to the guts with an arrowed quill    
elevates misfits with a human eye    
to question assumptions, collective lies;    
   
Burns to pointed issues of down-and-outs    
and scrapes the decks of our long hidden doubts,    
no sentimentalities pass his lips    
raw truths make each poem a learning hit;    
   
“See it this way … this, our humanity”    
extracts humour from edged insanity,    
gritty realism pokes our living rooms    
as death hovers close like nit-picking combs;    
   
John Brady, Man Of The People, earth-rooted    
two-four-six-zero-one, bearded, blue-suited.
