FRITTER’S #poetry by jay

Hand reaching for fritters
Hell, don’t give in to it
the repercussions aren’t worth
the dime of payment they will
lay on you.  It’s easy to react in-kind
the life you made severed by the
malfeasance of their backward mind
serve-up those fritters and forget
the waste of your time—

love comes easy 
to a soul
who feeds the 
starving people 
a plateful of 
homemade fritters
battered from their enemies' 
hateful hardened hearts.
