Don’t get too close
Might burst into flames
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
You would be a part of the machine
That gobbles you up
And spits you out
Bone fragments strewn
Along the path until the cycle begins again
And while it may be tempting to ascertain
The man drowning in sin seems to be always saved
If he has the pedigree
And a gift for manipulative Machiavellian gab
I still believe that legacies are built
Nurtured
By the salt of the earth common man.

Don’t treat life as a game of conquest
If the intensity is too hot for you
Find someone else to console you
Locate another sucker to emotionally annihilate
Give me meaning
Provide me inspiration to create
Discuss ideas instead
Of another unsuspecting fool
Who becomes a tool to be used by the system
Naively believing they have a voice.

P-11/21/19.
