Feeding

Not me it is

It is the Dwarf's rejoice
To extend his hand always,
Never to catch, it is not realizable....

Demented, deplorable, disgusting,  distrusting
Expendable, expensive, exasperating, exacting
I am so used to being mistreated, used and abused...

Convincing crocodile tears 
Focus on the truth

Without a fight, indoctrination may continue for

Another generation, convincing and bold..

Till a people fade with time, clanging to memories of before..
