Sadly, they are a part of today's society. "Snowmen" is symbolic.


Poem Artwork

Snowmen
 
Wearing dark glasses
They hide their empty eyes
They lurk among shadows
In a forest of city structures
These soulless beings
Feed on their own illusions
In evil darkness
Sell death in substances
Buy the souls of children
They have no conscience
And no matter how warm the sun
These snowmen will not melt

What a tragedy to have men do this to children and live in this world for destruction of youth.

Regis,
An excellent metaphor for these scum who sell to kids. They also destroy many lives when they enable an adult's addiction. A current topic with a powerful delivery. Love and Hugs,

Words and picture are a perfect definition and evocative character-study. Chilling as your subject, Regis, and imbues the soul with a shadow of the darkness that you speak about.

unfortunately, "snowmen" have sold their soul..if they ever had one. "snowmen" would like nuthin' better than to have others join their hell. pity them, HELL is all they know... guess it must be their HEAVEN... or maybe just a haven from the dark REALITY of learning to be.
