When the biography isn't  yours

When the biography isn't yours

A Poem by andrew mitchell

When life
wasn't going
the way he planned
he grabbed the pen
from the poet
and wrote
his own destiny.

It was an automated response
to take control
his autobiography
from the hands
of a propheteering poet
that writes about
the heavens above.

It would seem that the real biographer for anyone is the self. But we can get used to the palming off that is endemic in all strata of society and point the bloody finger at all and sunder when the biography thus far is not amenable to self. Awesome social commentary of a poem there good sir!
