Feeding upon …random opportunities…
Upon those, expecting ...somehow...
To be …given life …back…
Willing to be… down played…
Degraded prospects, expected…
Ready to trade …life…
To face danger… on a living safari…
All in… for the chance …at winning the lottery…
Playing, at all cost …for a new identity…
Trading cash/family treasures
Valuables / surrendering pride, self respect…
Perhaps virtue/even values…
Those who must…
Parlay, for their lives…
Have come to realize…
The futility… of commanding …a fair shake…
Challenging death …at every deal, made…
Unraveling prospects …for the success…
…treacherous commerce…
What else, can …one expect…
Undoubtedly…
Witnessing the lost souls,
Along this journey…
Passing the vacant eyes…
Knowing …all to soon…
They must pass in review…
Run …and hide…
From those who despise
The very sight …of you…
Those who, by no fault of their own…
Have fallen to the tides
…of changing circumstance..
Those, who… no longer care…
Much less …will come to see
The time will come
When …they, too must dance…
To the tune …of desolation…
Where pain and death…
Become, just as familiar…
Of so many unanswered prayers
So, many will …lose hope…
Defeated …and destitute…
Consider …suicide…
Rather than continue
This… struggle …to survive…
Amidst
…
Wreckage of so many lives
…along the way…
The dead, wounded …and dying souls
Of so many families
…of vulnerable human beings
Forced compromise… that…
Which overturned their worlds
Destroyed the stability …in their lives
Making each day …and every night…
A losing battle… in the struggle
Beyonder…
Than the will …of most…
Nightmares
Where …we are considered
…the living hosts…
Where… even…
Travelling alongside…
The father, son…
…and …Holy Ghost…
The suffering …immeasurable…
Targeting, the desperate, poor …the weak
Cold blooded, serpentine …
Lurking in the shadows …between…
Todays nightmares, yesterdays truths
…and tomorrows dreams
…there…
Feeding …without mercy…
…Coyote…
