Smeared Sign
Smeared Sign
Snakes’ slivering skins smothered in slimy oil of temptation
Immersed inundated intrigued of intricate ill tempered shine
Go forth and multiply your ferocious frolicking fortune
No - Neverland promiscuous parody peruses the pear’s peril
Or was it a precocious apple appeasing Adam’s adamant appetite
Furnaces’ flames flow from fields of plenty in the desert of doom
The ‘game’ is rigged resembling steel structures stealing resources
Hallowed be thy name Lord Trinity - material riches glory and power
Extract what you must muster maraude marshal the miraculous sword
Time will tell unless the timid clock retreats and hands fall off in the sand
In Nothing we trust but tentacles of terror and in glorious gory greed
Marooned midst the Midas Touch the ‘salubrious’ sign shivers solemnly
Embraces us humans in silence while the oil rigs stutter and spill
Salutary messages spluttered and soiled and the snake wins once more
