Uncertainty

Standing in the cold
Bare-foot: soft spoken
Hiding underneath street lights
Trying to shelter the sinister truth
I've kept locked inside

Bare-foot: empty handed
Sleeping on cold pavement
Trying to drown out the sound
Of whores & politicians

Cloaked in obscurity
Lulled to sleep by the depravity
Tight-lipped: open fist
I dare not depart with a Judas kiss
For my heart is poison
My lips soaked in vipers blood

Please don't invest in me
For I am full of uncertainty.
