Reptile In the Poultry House
Spineless behaviour, walks on mud and leaves no foot prints
the creator’s puzzle, only unravels through difficult hints
existing as one of morality’s abandoned orphans
bladder is always full but preserved for subsequent plans
the streets are in tears, the atmosphere judges
in the suites of his doings, embarrassment lodges
competes with the law and he sometimes win
all certificates acquired have the stamps of his sin
a show of mentality, cooked from spices without preservatives
crime and unrest, becoming his adopted relatives
dusted attitude fills the city with dirt
and with the backyard of many minds, it flirts
the water from his bath pollutes the nearby stream
an ulcerous personality, in dire need of a healing cream
what cleanses other mirrors, cracks this one
imperfections, no more an excuse when rehearsed by man
a sky diving soul which pleasures without parachutes
lands with a fatal bang like one big shoot
he’s touchable as shown by the red light of society’s quarantine
karma and the badge, fighting to be his lasting valentine.
