Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives

armed with four footed tall paws
gesticulations resembling horizontal seesaws....

Just Disappear
You’re nothing, but scum
You’re nothing, but waste
You’re nothing, but trash
You’re nothing, but lies.
