Below The Watermark

Far below the watermark, it’s really all the same…

A Youth screams in truth—Bloated tongue and footloose—for her father, underwater;

While her mother lifeless too, floats along the Grimy hue, face disguised with ****** blue, down the bank-- about a mile or two…

But these words are all in vain, because it’s really all insane, that

 

Far Below the watermark, it’s really all the same…

Names next to X’s, Signed by anyone of your nagging Exes, haunt your dreams like shapeless hexes--

Reminding you that to succeed, you need to feed from their luscious Platinum **** which you learn to love by, first, ******* on their feet.

So, climb that money ladder! Gadgets! Gizmos, all galore! Stab this back with small “e-chatter”, and raise your wallet up one soulless person more…

 

Because these words are all in vain, and it’s really not all insane, that

Levees break, Truths are fake, and X’s, Exes, Fears and Hexes on their own, do write your fate.

So worry not! All your dreams make sure you maim, for

Far Below the watermark, it’s really all the same.
