400 Poem Challenge (completed December 26, 10:15am)

the old

i dislike people

who put everyone

into categories

here are the beautiful people

here are the losers

here are the ones who will succeed

here are the boozers

here are the doctors and lawyers

here are the liars and thieves

here are the models and divas

here are the faded leaves

the playboys and bunnies

the dirty, greasy hands 

the stars and starlets

the common man

the young and successful

the old

the ones who matter

the old

the ones we respect

the old

the wrinkled and tattered

the old
