Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Skeleton In Closets

As we focus shoot with our floppy lobes,
A gossamer film disguise the eardrums,
Echoes entertain all malicious probes,
Tidings beseech fortuitous pilgrims.

Jealousy encourage hostile intents, 
Embittered rivalry host the defied,
Chief points yield unfavorable segments,
Relentless attacks hearten the implied.

Siblings, friends one day, then foes being hexed,
Vices sprung snoops, spies, all those overhears,
Cornered lab specimen hopelessly vexed,
Tuning in abate when choice disappears.

Ancient habits fester long before youth,
Prized intrigues unravel lies than the truth.
