Eyesore

Eyesore
by dan ankers

A herpe on the mouth of life
from day one
a sack of mashed potatoes with a hair in
it
No one’s carryin’ it

no one dares

no one cares, really

The burden, no one wants it around 
Four walls drip with blood 
and though structurally unsound
No one wants to hear

No

No one wants to hear
(hateful smear)

No

No one wants to hear-
inconvenient viewpoints disappear

Breaking through
without lube
an excruciating shag, to say the least

The bold shape of the world
is a varied lot to offer,
and the inconvenient truth
is that good deeds won’t line 
a coffer
So people like you and me
Must say just what we mean
Because there are very wealthy people
Who will manipulate the scene
And if we don’t speak up
They’ll make a nightmares
of our 
Dreams

They’ll press coins out of our screams
They’ll make dollars from our tears
Magic
Potions From Our Fears
