.five ages of a nincompoop

The year 1990,
marked the birth
of a lousy nincompoop.

.

By 6, atoning the virtues
of a god-fearing mama
and a steadfast Papa,
the nincompoop learnt
to read and write,
to sacrifice and befriend.

.

Enter 13.
the nincompoop learnt ,
to beguile and
yet be benign.
started to love,
had his hearts broken
a couple of times
and his bones broken too.

.

Enter 17.
the nincompoop started
to love
and make love.
lecherous,
and diabolic.
but still,
Blood to him,
carried some gravity.

.

Enter 20.
the nincompoop now
makes only love.
still loves blood,
only when spilt.
Nothingness,his abode.
he isn't despaired,
atleast by the embrace
of weeds and liquids.
God is just another jester,
Faith is just for the dogs.
the nincompoop now,
is a nihilist.
That nihilist is me.
