Paramount

Paramount

Your grumpy face;
Nicked ‘your’ place.
Your parking space!
Not yours in any case!

Instead you glare
While I try to care;
He is quite ill
And needs his pill.

You think I’m lying!
He may well be dying!
You’ve gone too far
Over parking your car.

I look around,
(He’s on the ground.)
Your cones tell me no!
My heart says just go!

A stranger shouts
He’s cynical and doubts.
(My car’s paramount –
Human life doesn’t count)

Your material thing
Has worn me thin,
How can you compare
To a life I declare?

I have no praise
For your parking bays.
Had enough today
It’s cruel nowadays.
