The mother sucks
and the father swallows
creation never meant so little

lick your lips and drink my blood
and watch it wash right back

its just work
teach us well
expel our thoughts
empty heads  talk to no one

for money,  I’d kill you brother
for a  little space, id make a memory
a quaint taste of  degenerate empathy

as I crawl back  to the womb
it suddenly became a forest
I opened up my fist
and quickly ran out of  room

silence we make
when everyone can hear
attention swallows
we are quick learners
and better listeners

the mother teaches
and the father follows

crashed on the couch
her highness in  flight
behind the ant hill I had my say

former pets and current slaves
the feel of  weapons
without the weight of words

New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire

I agree with Kurushio.

**FOr money, I'd kill you brother***

My favorite, to say the least. Indeed very amazing, and quite brilliant.

I will be adding this.

This is a very clever poem you've written here; it has a very sarcastic tone.  Keep writing!

"a quaint taste of  degenerate empathy"
I am stunned that I have not read upon such talent of yours, until now.
stunned...

WHOA! This was an awesome piece of writing! I especially liked this stanza:
for money,  I’d kill you brother
for a  little space, id make a memory
a quaint taste of  degenerate empathy

Good stuff!!
