Don't wear animals...


Poem Artwork

If I could be all that you want,

I wouldn't. You strip the flesh

from my bones and eat away

my only cartilage. Vampire,

drinking blood and sucking energy.

 

Cannibal, digesting my marrow.

Have I said that I hate you?

Novoicenovoicenovoice.

Yet you are a destroyer.

 

You shake me, tan me and hide me.

Not this time, for I am a lime

crocodile. Spying your pond

and slinking through the scum.

 

You are a man with a gun, and

still afraid to look at me.

Fire away, wear me down.

Enjoy your designer shoes.

 

Karma is gonna get you.

Highly original and deeply true. A very fine poem, and an experience not to be forgotten.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
