Fleas
They take a swim
In mucus green
Of rotten cocktails
Flies
That once did creep
I still see
See them all
The maggots
Three damned cents
To every ten
Thirty more
To a penny saved
Is not a dollar earned
We give to take
So hard to swallow
And in our lives
To live like this
Causing only
Only headaches
And empty wallets
Still they come
The take
It grows
Still they come
It’s proved by show
Still they come
There’s more to follow

Oh and the pain
It makes me feel
Oh it’s insane
Pay to the grave
No choice
Just swallow

Slime
Trails from slugs
They creep and crawl
No need to hunt
No need to blindside you
Give
An oath to serve
To serve to choice
But they can not follow
Take
Another piece
And bide their time
At snails pace
Take what’s yours and mine
I see
Through open eyes
I can not follow
I know
I see their lies
Done the same
Conglomerates would crumble

Eye
Sees the game

Sense a truth

A path no other could afford to follow

Would

You they in vain
To steal from me

I see it all as shallow
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

    Very descriptive depop...kinda gross too...seeing a different perspective...good read! :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    Damn! I love this one, depop! :) Makes a good point and I liked the flow and the words that were repetative really worked well ie.

    "I still see
    See them all"

    &

    "Causing only
    Only headaches"

    Very well done, IMHO. :)

    PS, I get very irratated at election time. I know that I am not coming even close to voting for 'my choice,' rather I am picking from the least worst.

    I hate it
