Thy Death, Poetry

Machiavelli's false theory reigns supreme,
I have no use for your marbles, 
So economize your garbles!
What use has a mannequin of a dream?

The dull green top, it spins in fuddled haste, 
True beauty's torture in its stagnant jig, 
Gulp! Don't savour the devil in the taste,
The plot's been bought and now it's time to dig.

Fare thee well and may ye always be merry
on thine voyage to your darlings, Poetry.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
