Reptile house

 


They sit in castle-like towers.

Reptile houses of power,

where they look down

upon the masses,

the underclasses,

as if we are bugs

to be crushed

beneath their galoshes.

 

Serpent rulers

of this

septic isle,

with its infested, rotten,

stinking miles.

Sinking further

into the mire.

This beguiled

place of filthy liars.

 

They claim to be helping,

to be setting us free,

but in truth they are jailers

hiding the keys.

Setting us up to fail,

like the cement on schools

as the buildings slowly crumble.

 

Blue blooded they don't care

if we succeed or die.

We are just statistics

to fuel their hunting sides.

They sneer and lie, ruining lives,

weaselling out of any blame,

no matter how wrong.

No shame, they smear with the ice,

running thick through their veins.

Venom drips from their cruel lips

and they poison us

with just a flick of their tongue.
