What boundaries are there now, Since he squeezes through somehow, Lubricated by greasy fur And gnawing holes in the walls, What is there to deter, Going to where desires call. Watching from newly found nitch Lusting for the last life's itch As a ten dollar whore turns tricks In the back alley of a bar, Watching a drunk take his licks As a working girl becomes a star Then come running the vile muggers By the comers of the evil druggers Preying on the unfortunate ones That have no way of escaping; No official cares what’s done So continues robbery, murder, and raping. See the bodies fall and fall again Leaving just chalk and blood stains, As the morgue has more than a few With plenty to kill in the city As all give the devil his due Pausing not for shame or pity. But this is just a rat’s tale Bolstered by the putrid smell, And rats become no wise sage Even when born via reincarnation, For nothing builds him to rage, Just reacting without emotion. There is no lust or burning desire He’s lost all his inner fire, Yet he’s uncaring of what he’s lost As he savors a trash can taste Where a greasy spoon now toss Leftovers and other waste. With a full belly he goes to rest In his shredded bible nest Tucked safely in a forgotten drawer Worried not by transgressions Of evils of his life before, Gnawing on revelations. Revelations 22: 15 For without dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murders, and isolates, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie, Gloom |

Thank you, nakdthoughts, Some have ways with words That are never heard Others have ways with a smile That transits the miles Gloom |

Thank you, LeeJ Pleased you enjoyed Thank you, Copperbell, If a poem make one think or feel Then it is a success Thank you, Ratleader, The King James version says “the eyes of the blind” rather than gloom, But either fits the feel of the verses, next 19 The meek also shall increase joy… now there is a follow-up there, maybe unintended you have stepped ahead in the series which will now turns to a different character. Thank you, Midnitesun, Glad to have you gnawing or nibbling. Gloom |
