The Single Seen Sucks
By Richard Maxfield
4-28-2000

Singles seen sucks
As I sat at a bar
Plastic people arriving
In big plastic cars

Fake smiles
Dressed to kill
Steep on your heart
Don’t care how it feels

Game players
Snakes in the grass
Find their esteem
At bottom of a glass

To be some one real
They must get drunk
Weave home late
Stoned as a skunk

See that one there 
On the bar stool
Got to be forty
Dressed like she’s in school

Some travel together
In one big clan
Hiding the white finger
From their wedding band

They should be home
Raising their kids
But their out drinking
Flipping their lids

Men circling 
Like a pack of sharks
Looking for victims
In the smoky dark

All acting happy
As they gulp down a drink
To escape in drunkenness
Their life must stink

In this place
There is no love real
Just a fake smile
To hide how they feel

Lack of morality
Lies so thick
Watching the games
It makes me sick

If this is the game
That I must play
I’m going home
There I will stay

The single seen sucks
