They Said
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [They Said]
‘They say, they said’
That is what you said
And like a hungry fish
I took in your coated crap

Tell me no more
Your breath is foul with evil
A malicious slimy stench
Sliding with spiteful coldness
Usurping truth so golden

Why must you cover beauty
so pure, with sackcloth?
Why do you smear innocence
So amazing and cute
In slimy ponds of filth?

See, your words
They build out of nothing
Temporal kingdoms of rot
Painted in jealousy and insecurity

Surely, I promise you
Soon, the glee in your eyes
When you plant these evil seeds
Shall be your glee of doom

Soon the rot shall set in
And they shall fall, your empire
nowhere else but on your head!
