Mac Holmes Poet Free verse

Corrupt

I fondly fathom sound answers,
Dancing around subjective flame,
Looking through me,
Beautiful deceptive eyes,
Verbal enfeebling spy, 
A con man's survival game,

Jester-like remorse
Tapping the blood of man,
It's all just who you know,
A subtle, undefined force,
Snorting money as they,
Go,

Bejeweled fingers thump,
As if we all waste,
There beloved time,
Filling their cups to brim,
With golden animosity,
A featherweight's crime.
