Like a piece of cloth, it got
All admiration it was worth,
And he thought,
Let it me cut it out
And wear it around
Turn heads, double takes;
And people think
He’s rich, he’s talent,
Wrapped in a coat
Of sophistication,
No one could see
The veneer beneath
Of utter desperation,
To be who he never can be.
But any lengths he’ll run,
To hide the truth
And shoot the gun,
Power he needs
And ego he feeds.
The cloth got him all
Through bruises and cuts,
Ripped and shreds,
But the cloth didn’t know
That good time fades;
It kept loving, giving
Believing in his best.
Left behind with the ascent
Torn and tattered,
For no more it mattered
It was only a discard,
For higher, for better
Who his needs would fetter.
Only it wasn’t a cloth he cut,
But a woman’s beating heart.
N.B. If do not understand this piece of God-only-knows-what, you are better off.

RSV,
I don't think I understand it myself. I think I should be shot for even attempting poetry, but what can I do, I love poetry so much, that I keep trying and 'cause others visual pain! 😛
A friend had used a phrase, “discarded like old clothes”, hence this pathetic one… 😀

Ok you want me to give it a try eh?
OK….
the man's wife(or partner) has been compared with a cloth which is now tattered from overuse….
the poem tries to explain how women are used by men for their selfish reasons and then dumped away in the end….
“The cloth got him all
Through bruises and cuts,”
this line clearly proves my first proposition..
if I am correct….u are too GOOD…
