Bankrupt Men (Still in progress)

Bankrupt men with bankrupt lives

Empty, void,

Without any of their past assurance

Not a dearth of abundance

No wealth of passion

Banal

Dreary

Mediocre

They come

Pockets empty

Sieved out thoughts

Torn and battered

Crumpled and worn

Bankrupt men with bankrupt lives

For modification

Such a poor selection 

Denied a place in the bank’s collection

Bankrupt men with bankrupt lives

Make applications

File papers of declaration

For a woman’s love

Gift  of cheer

They come

Glee-less, joy-less

Seeking a Subsidy

Shaking and trembling in expectation

Fear

Bankrupt  men with

Bankrupt lives

Make

Bad investments

Totally
