A Known Quantity
Known you..
I’ve known you in oh so many forms
weak, spineless, pitiful
yet sucking it all up, sucking it all in
the nectar of every soldier bee
goes to fill your whimpering form
look how you grovel to the leader
a mere ruse to suck dry the abundance of others
Soft and sweet and pleasant
but bitten the hand that fed you one too many time
Loving you caring for you .. basically a death sentence
a deal killer that’s what you are
a rabid queen of heart without a flamingo’s head
to bash against the balls of life so ..
you use the balls of others to climb UP
to sneak under .. to support your jellied form
Known YOU?
Hell yes I’ve known you ..
and it’s about time I cut the bloody cord.
Good bye .. Friend
