What Washes This Way

See them Iscariot eyes silver surfing, filthy lucre foam is left in their wake You best be watching them, when they’re evil eyeballing you Dirty money laundry days a-rising, grifter ink gloam ... palms on the last take Grimy worst, the dullest dim, are midnight indigo shady blue What washes this way is soiled paper, scumbag nasty What lurks in the waves is avarice sawdust jaw snappy Look at them Judas nose bark creepers, sniffing for bones ... make no shore mistake They sho’ gon martyr discount sell you out, with pirate plank parroting ease Dross money laundry days has darker hue, cerulean tones ... abyss cry for greed sake Flotsam feet peddling amount — for a few silver coins, they will betray please What washes this way can’t blood guilty ever be washed Pilate clean What sink in the waves, be the anchor of souls bottomless pit dropping

I am always impressed by the intensity of your words, Freddie. You sum it up nicely in just a few words like: for a few silver coins, they will betray please..AND..What sink in the waves, be the anchor of souls bottomless pit dropping. Excellent write on dark hues in life.

"Look at them Judas nose bark creepers, sniffing for bones …" - WOW! Your words almost give me the creeps. They are WONDERFUL Freddie!
