Your attack …upon

The ones who earnestly

Struggle to support

A worthy cause…

Is carried forth

With fellow fiends

Whose battles are

Already lost…

Pretty up …the lack

Cover up the stink  

If not for the elevator

Can’t climb the stairs

Even if there was a ladder

It really would not matter  

Seemingly allergic to working

Towards the goals

Bringing people together…

Despite the weather

The hardship…

Even, to lose their life, for…

Things …worthy to die for

Always,

 …worth fighting for

Because you do not dare,

Will not share,

Or perhaps, you really…

Do not care…

Effort wasted …by discipline…

Weakened, by lack of initiative…

Unable to discern… a fix…

Or discover the source

Of your unhappiness

The moral fiber… to

Commit to do…

Without distraction…

Your inaction…

Brings to a point

Why you’ll never… be

The one… whose

The true center

Of attraction…

As you continue to

Climb further

Into despair…

When you

Perceive a threat,

You show your teeth,

Subject the innocents

With abject cruelty

Where you continue

In your inability

To show empathy

To lie and cheat

To beg and steal the show

To lay down …with the dogs

To ignore the itch you cannot scratch,

Because the fleas are just another sign

Of your disease…

Always seeking to seize the opportunity

To show… you’ve paid your dues

Afraid of showing weakness

Or of your secrets

Coming into view…  

Of losing …your advantage…

Of your age to show… to lose your glow

Of becoming, yesterdays …news…

Or that people will finally discover

Your ugly

Truth

The speak of beauty and the beast; but there can be no beauty in beasty acts of finding that of what you see in self. If beauty is in the eyes of ghe beholder...so is ugliness. Peace and Love, M'Lowe.
