Salluting Sinners

I've been watching and waiting for awhile..
I lurk with a smirk, a Crocodile.
In a swamp that's swollen with 
          uncontrollable, 
           unconsoloble, 
        &undereducated 
               people.
They praise a steeple of low standards
controlled by foes but we call them commanders
being a bystandard is the new felon
A once bright but now dim lantern
and no ones been reminding us to refuel
so we feed off each other..

Musical chairs with fools.
