Covert Opportunities

Covert Opportunities

The Council covered the bridge in diagonal meshing not be trashed
        Too many souls had digressed from the path into now hidden depth
                No more signs ‘No diving of the flyover into the poisonous water’
    They were taking no chances into the fast slump of crude liability

Now downtrodden venturers had to complete a full rigorous circle
        Jump into the current hold on to some concrete climb upwards
            Towards the underbelly of solid traverse and covert adversity and
    Only then take the leap surge into free fall of a final conclusion

        Crushing descent was at once relegated to the Harbour Authority who
Now took the blame and had to harvest the bodies nevertheless
