Some people are so ungrateful

My mate assures us heβs βnot gayβ,
but he certainly gets a kick
out of watching two jocks feisty-
lovemaking at the rim of a ring
on the pay-per-month idiot box
He mocks me cause I tithe andβ
metaphoricallyβdrink Jesusβ blood
But doesnβt mind tuning into the Dark
Web to watch live cannibals eat din-dins
He just got a βred roomβ invite to boot!
Not that boot will necessarily be the way
this weekβs victims adieus our world
The guyβs never even roughed it,
incubated like a silkworm in a dollhouse
too privileged to realise itβs a black mirror
Some people are so ungrateful
I know I am not worthy of God.
To feel this cold metal of the bus stop
is plenty privilege for me;
on the other side of an invisible road,
the grinding thumps of a stranger I
canβt mark out from nightβs indigo;
the man-made lights simulating a ribbon
of synthetic stars indicating a sky line;
the inhale of frost, diesel, dying rubber;
sadistic sting of a mozzie on my wrist
All bless-gift enough simply
not to be in the game of kill or die:
comfortably lost in spaceβ¦
Then I hop on the bus and cry
cause humans stink up close.
Why did I have to leave such
timeless divine emptiness?
Some people are so ungrateful

Legit question.. should I split this poem up and make two poems?Β
Hello Al...
You could split it into two poems and see which one you like better...
Some people would have a very difficult time if they actually had to rough it, indeed!
Some are very ungrateful, also...
Interesting write!
Thank you for sharing...
Best wishes and blessings!
Hugs...
