Human ****
human ****
Avarice
Get that ****
Out of my dish
How many species
Do you wish
Extinct by Swedish overfish
Are you so fond of licorice?
Like cavities on Halloween
You rot away my clenching teeth
Spoiled children trick or treat
So concerned with what to eat
While glaciers melt like Hershey bars
In Hot Tamale heat
As oceans rise
You feast blind eyes
And licorice blackens the skies
Making my blood pressure high
Unwrapping one more Smartie
Just to find an Air-Head Spree
And now I'm left here questioning
My ***** Wonka sanity
For thinking I could save these kids
From Candy Land's of apathy
Stuck on selfish sticky squares
Lord Licorice tormenting me
With sugar-coated ignorance
Preferred over
The sour patch
Of truth too bitter for their lips
Starbursting, Milky Way abyss
Warheads warping face and time
Mere rainbows to your skittle bliss
The end of mine? No sweets to find
You've left me only licorice
