An unexpected tale

There were whifts of smoke that caught the breeze trying desperately to stick to cauterized lungs A lanky lad strolled by as the minute fragments of phlegm projected in his direction Daring the tender hand of his mother within earshot of such a spectacle Ignorant selfish chump” she whaled. “Your spit almost landed on my son!” Chiming in the Man replied...”tis but a shame the lad has his mommy so close by.” “Battles will always surface and victims will always die” I cannot be the MAN that whispers I cannot be the ONE that lies The wolves will howl and night will dim Welcome the uneasiness underneath the skin So soon will it force out your sheltered fears A whimper to be cast from many tears A shutter will shake you from deep within and mommy will be gone for you to deal with someone else’s SIN.
