A Different Kind of Worm Food

"A DIFFERENT KIND OF WORM FOOD" if the word is all I have left, that explains why it comes so easily for me. think of my death while you live because without the word, I'd be worm food. I can't help but weep for those men that're stuck for life. young foolish men too foolish to walk away. young foolish men too drunk with love to breathe. I can't help but weep as I too was once that young fool. as they stand within a structure, everything that meets a woman so to will meet that man and every man after that. the greatest cliché ever given to a woman, is that since she is the one who gives life, she too can take it away. the closed-minded see this as an empowerment for women. the wise see it for the false empowerment it gives. it isn't what lives in you as you walk this planet, it's what dies inside as you run the path around it. as good men fight for their children, fight for their money, fight for their insanity, fight to just avoid the unnecessary darkness inside new loves, the life is slowly sucked out of them like the nicotine inside a cigarette. but maybe they got this cliché right. as a murderer returns to the scene of the crime, the first act is never enough.
