Ass-Soul Ass-Sole
A Soulless Acrostic Sonnet
Assholes abound even on Medium
Some even assert to have reached thousands
Souls and more souls, necklace of tedium
Soulless devil’s backbone, dad-of-thousands
O English grammar lost without a soul
Under the pretext of freedom for all
Laughing to a cry in a little chest
After an ego refusing to spell
Suddenly to believe we are all blessed
Soul to soul lawyering the empty shell
Sucker yourself you piece of human shit
Overbearing imbecile dressed in quills
Leveraging love against your lack of wit
Everybody dies with both soles in bills

The caged ass at the top seems to have more soul that the “free” one below. It is a simple rationalisation, of course. Yet, an ass is an ass, and some assholes are more than one.
