Whose Truth

Seeking a Truth 
The sewers under the abortion clinic 
is where successful rats live and only
the strongest survives. 

From the bland food of suburbia and
narrow minded excrements, unwilling
given back to the drains and nature.  

These big rats have survived to sit by 
the top table and be respected as those
who deserves a prize for endurance.

They live on sludge of fetuses, tiny fingers
small, beating hearts; also, clean livers;
and the rats grow and reason as humans

Rich rats now have an army of lesser
rats to defend them, nothing last always, 
but for some it ended before it began.
