eyes spinning round and round
helplessly tied to papered chains
prisoners of pain
why doth thou torture
your pulses, mind, heart
at its end – hell
a sowed seed produces
lifelong consequences
who did you think you were ogling?
some paper doll?
a blowup?
certainly you knew you chose flesh
to batter and beat?
what is life like for these tasty treats?
are they sweet or sucked dry?
perhaps you think they deserve it, chose it?
but why why why!!!
and the lecherous l o v e s
to steal hers (or his) innocent soul
they don’t clamor for the old and ugly
but find beauty and chew them up
like a wad of gum, then spit
them out!
