Something Smells
Something Smells
Shall I compare you to a stinky fart?
Your stench is more profound and daunting
Clean wind could blow such clouds apart
Yet your trauma remains thus haunting
Perhaps a skunk's defense could seem perfume
Amongst it's kind like a warrior's pride
A bloated corpse could seem ideal to consume
Scavengers enjoy those long after they've died
But your putrid odor has no possible praise
Nor would anyone happily greet you
You seem forever cursed to live out your days
Sickening everyone that would meet you
So long as I use my nose to breathe and my eyes to see
I hope you live your life far away from me
