Sex sells,
Cash corrupts,

She lingers waiting for me to make a mistake.
I feel her, sneering at me, ready to pounce.
Unsure how she originated, but I keep her masked.

In economy led of beastly mind,

Upon a political serpentine.

All strives of wickedness kicks,

Against the fleece of Love’s Pricks(goads).

As true sheep trod, before their God’s, INClINE(will).

Excellence of mind.
Innate in some it resides
Others strive to imbibe.

Skills commensurate with the task.
Energy sapped, discomfort induced
Food eaten, transforms...
