I am disgust

I can churn stomachs, with a stench of truth An abscess filled with maggots, pus profuse As I feed off gunk, new nerve ends take root Raw language in my words, not gross abuse Yes! I am disgust, old wounds fear my fruit To late for contest

Happily got into that David :) I've no brain cells available to figure out the form but like the poems it's generated. Very well thought out as always.

Well, that was very disgusting to read. Lol. Nasty but symbolic.

Heya Lin, apparently what disgusts us most can have great healing properties, maggots and leeches are often used in hospital environments to help clean up infected open wounds, that have become resistant to antibiotics, always some method to my madness, lol! cheers David
