Crucifixion

Sneaky ears flying day and night 
Nosy eyes with conjured wings for flight 
A fair young maiden, believing that it's right 
Was lured by taint gold to cross the light 

I was but a young moth learning how to fly 
When the blight of knowledge struck me up and high 
Every stool pigeon in promise of a dime
Labored in cahoots to sink the boat in time 

Then the younger blood at the luster of dime
Sold his soul to the ghoul like a lurking slime
The poor wandering soul that committed no crime 
Was fed to the trolls for an ocean of dime

Then the old maiden, knowing that it was wrong 
Wrapped her mouth in silence, not wanting to sing a song 
For the rain of glitter was too much to resist
Young Judas and the crows were all gathered to feast
