Famous Sonnet #4

DeLiterious minion, there's no need
To remind the poet he loves her not.
She must follow her Muse where it will lead.
And I have a Muse - but what have you got?
A middle-aged sociopathic friend
Who compels you to fuck with a stranger;
Whose seething hatred does not ever end;
Who thrives on discord, chaos and danger.
You are a sheep with no will of your own.
Get a life! Get your own damn enemies!
Life is too hard for this - leave me alone
And shun that freak like a deadly disease.
I'll spill my heart as it needs to be spilt -
An American artist has no guilt.
