Staggering
Staggering
That man got a battering,
He brought on war, then started crying.
The weight of it all, still staggering,
Hollow truths, the world defying.
I hate when lies start multiplying,
You see it clear when stutters grow.
Mumbling words, and lips low, fumbling,
A face that cracks beneath the show.
Staggering breaths, their chest expanding,
No escape from all that ranting.
Don’t try to hide, your breath betraying,
One right blow, the pain is planting.
