Narcissist I

Narcissist I

 

 

Money questions hidden in cultures

Instead of debates, we have the vultures

They will overspend whatever their budget

Destroy years hard work, their odour pungent

 

Often called users, epiphytes of highest order

Those that cannot earn sufficient to quarter

Or manage their own, so they use others

Spending, unfettered, is their druthers

 

Cannot accept responsibility for damage

Continue to feast on their host, they ravage

Hollowing out from inside, funds they suction

Weakening the structure for eventual destruction

 

And weakened, debates then start about savings

Too late, funds gone, too late for the cravings

Absent conversation, leaves a bad situation

Long ago, train of debate left the station

 

What we have now is death and decay

All caused by silence, as the vultures flay

It will not be long until they seek a new host

Just when their former home needs them most

 

So leave they will, to claw the next poor victim

Removing their talons of love and devotion

Moving on, leaving behind just carcasses

Warm used bodies, mark of a narcissist
