Unmarvel

    You marvel at the images
    In the center of your screen
    Baking pieces of loss
    Putting them far inside
    Fortunate from folly...
    Preying on all spirits
    It brings a special broth
    It means to leave you dry

    When you hold that sickness close
    Springs of toxin flow right by
    Inching and squirming rivulets
    Parching your soul and mind
    And what it takes is so minuscule
    Where it starts is so very small
    Leaps are not needed to fly
    Just step one foot away from the hole
    Echoing some standard past
    Dropping like the frail
    Pouring into the pail
    Surprisingly seldom snapped
    All the way to the back
    Marching you into the sink
    Impossible to almost get out
    Hailing the sun back into your camp
    Oh yeah the soul sucking sound
    Step away from the soft cliff now
    Step off when you mind the gap
    We’ve all had that stumble down
    We know where it is you’re at
    Marked like prosperous damsels
    Melted like drowning the fat
    It could make lynching a savoir
    Might be a sharp quick boost is best
