Rise High Rumbling Bricks

Rise high you tumbling bricks!

Consider exchanging
your scared squawks
for a few more plummeting
security stocks

City beware
of stealthy schemes
while chasing virtual creatures
in your local county park
for free

You never know
in "reality"
when truth might pierce
chilly hearts
once crocked eyes clear

Seeking top credit card scores...
dreading next month's
bank notices

Why not use them
to cleanse your
glossy green
Caddy coupe?

Swallow some pills for those annual chills
Dismiss being still as you strain in vain
while attempting to claim
faux success

Common sense...

Where has it flown?
Will it soar North again?
