Excavator V Escalator

Excavator V Escalator


Escalator, to the Top it puts
Excavator rives and ruts; 
and it effectively undercuts!

One is a symbol of Mirth
Another; symbol of wrath
and destruction of Earth!

Escalator is a symbol or Fort
Paradigm of Human effort
the other; of bloody sport!

But most, Irony of this Writ  
is that one is pretty neat
While another is full if ****!

So, in Life be a Detector
of which is the Escalator
and which is an Excavator!

Another cleverly crafted piece. You have a wonderful and intriguing way with words. Only thing I noticed was "if shit" and I'm sure it was just a typo and you meant "of shit" (but correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, again, I enjoyed this poem. Well done and kudos! :)
