The Avaricious Ones

Their conniving eyes
I see them lurking from beyond
Sneering through their lies
Straight faced, they sing their songs

Pretentious
Rapacious
Conceited
Narcissist

Nothing can be just
Rife in corruption
Absent compassion
Of the avaricious ones

My forgiveness was a weakness
Raped and taken for granted

Their convincing persuasion
Laced in insincerity
The conformation
Of their built monopoly
With no alternative
I face this double edge sword
You may be adept by title
But solely via forged discourse

Their conniving eyes
I see them lurking from beyond
Sneering through their lies
Straight face, they sing their songs
With devious intentions
The tongue slithers in deceit
Endless empty promises
Are all that I seem to see

The serpent sinks its teeth in
Draining the blood of its victim
Leaving you to rot
Now worthless and discarded
