Forever the Twain Shall Meet

Forever, the twain shall meet.
Like a prostitute and the street.

Ever competing for shift eye, top seeding.(dead meat)
Dogs and Cats, dark alleys, ever meeting.

Con artists with snake oil.(fish oil?)
Suckers in headdress of foil.

A Halloween party, each playing a part.( Let me show you my wares)
An excuse for an exhibitionist to dress like a tart.

A fog rolling in.(such a sight to see)
A house with blinds covering sin.

Career Politicians, wearing Jesus sandals.(hear no evil..see no evil...)
Career Politicians in scandal.

A child learning to fly.(purity, here)
A Mother with fridge art, teary eyed.

A Family without God.
Another needless heartbreak.

My thanks genuflects to you again. I appreciate that you do. ...when I mention the Lord, I am hoping in his co-write. I want it to be a purity offered. A devotion and something to offer as a work, a prayer, a witness, and an apology.
