The
merchants caustically advertise
The
many methods to which you can subscribe
Debts,
inherited, transfer too
The
disconnect exists, between prey and predator
The
predator’s not always the only one hunting
Crosshairs
are one-size fits all
The
soft palette, breaks upon contact
The
rigid frame, cannot budge
Are
not inherent constraints, still constraints?
The
merchants of death live for the kill
Each
asset obtained is another line to their will
Always
the hunted, always on the hunt, always hunting
But
still we try, but still we’re tried
Once again all comes down to greed whether that be the greed of the merchants, death or otherwise, wanting to suck you dry. Or the greed of the people wanting simply because society says they should have it. On the hunt always, great word play with that line.
ReplyDeletePat, thanks. bit of wordplay used-who me. Yeah I love it when I can see it fit. But yeah the death merchants are everywhere, and unfortunately you're correct- greed seems to be the elixir for the soulless- but what comes first-the absence of humanity or the greed. Does man create the greed or does greed possess the man? I often wonder about these things when I hear someone say something like, "there's good in everyone," or "There's no such thing as pure evil," which I have to say I agree, yet can call BS on that too-depends upon the mood and mindset-or perhaps I should say how clear I'm focused that day. Thanks again, great feedback, appreciate it
