I heard a worried smelly coppering
Once I said engaged and nickeling
The Richer poor get richer
Unrest- unrest- unrest
The rich get richer the poor stay poor
Nothing left
All's been spent
Only this
And a reservation
Hush
What a gold rush
Do you like silver cadets
It's a rich get richer the poor stay poor
They're stood a guided gold plated stand
By brought such sorrow
To richer poor gets richer
Tohat preventative preventative cushion
I felt compelled to sniff the elements
I threw my silver spoon upon the floor
The surplus standbys storing
I crave the proactive precious plus gold rush
Set I think of kil
Death shall bring assets
Which I whom discovered the reserve
The richer gets richer the poor stays poor

I smell the air today
And it's the stench of
Life leaving.
Everywhere you look
The usual standbys are not
Where they were.
I can feel the skin
On my arm as it
Seems to be wrong
Not wet enough
Or dry enough
Maybe it's the sign
We were waiting on
The end of days is here.
Not as a giant explosion
But as a unraveling.
Began with a virus
And politics as usual
But now, if you pay attention,
You'll notice the far away
Credits are beginning to roll.
I can count on one hand
The people I miss
When I wake up.
I can count on two hands
The people I wish
Were back behind me
As we walk into the next
Phase or chapter or verse.
I hope the sweat was worth it
And the silliness we thought
Meant something
Is so ridiculous
As we view it in our
Rear view mirror.

I'm aware my readership is down near the bottom
However, I have some standbys not to be forgotten
Devoted is a word to describe them
These dedicated loving friends
Though the numbers are small, been friends from day one

Shocked, taken aback,
I was stood up by my standbys
ever reliable phonies who stood by
and watched. My dear friends quaked
and spluttered excuses from stand-by mode.
How quickly the folksy flock dispersed
to vultures, hanging, waiting
in stand-by queues, for me to fail, so can step in.
Chameleon onlookers standing by.
Well "Stand By, Folks"
"I'll be back, right with you".

Take your standbys
And your surprise
And analyze
My starting rise
This is advised
To get baptized
And Christianize
You idolize
Evils lullabies
Now memorize
These words replies
Say your good-buys
Leave all your spies
You agonizes
And minimize
Romanticize
Evils veils of lies
