Spills Over

Sludge like fudge water and oil contaminated soil kills with spills drills in hills wildlife and strife polluted planet air congested hearts arrested coated in slime not enough time to clean the slate matter of minutes or way too late Killing fields filled with bodies without a name political gain complete disdain acid rain torn down trees shredded leaves many pet peeves do as you please out of control get on your knees pray for release of karmic disease False promises made by all involved all about money without resolve pipe dreams clogged with verbal bile garbage collecting for miles and miles destruction ground zero such a grave loss hidden by religion a trip to paradise gambling with dice losing the game naughty or nice paying it forward no matter the thought at such a cost to do your own part or drown in rot Sludge like fudge without any taste a domino affect of bitter waste
