The Respect of FliesA Poem by Jack DerbakA very abstract analogy of the everyday person, the view of life and the way we are all the drones to a higher, more powerful entity.A feeling... acid rain is flowing through the ill Making my kind all drop like anvils... Into the barbs of a belated prize... All of these heathens have the respect of flies Take these... These plagued wings God has given me... Their only use is to spread the diseased Eat me... just like the other bloated toads... My rotting mind can't think of any other road A thousand eyes... none of them are of use... When the distortion flows through the air They misused the respect of flies Drowned out... from the pool of the mosquito nest A hopeful suicide is not guaranteed Now I am sucked back into the rat king's mass Into that mass... of sporadic energy... Can't help but drive towards her scent Those blotted colors upon the tender leaf Enticing me... with her honeyed malcontent Gorge myself on her... like an insect could believe The trap finally flies... as I am stuck between his glass But my consciousness... it bothers the future mess I avoid my freedom due to a glimpse of fate My eyes may help... but my genes deny my escape God has finally gave up and taken back his sense of faith Those who are born in May die as they may What is a day? I haven't lived through one... God does not beckon me He has better species to supply He spits on my kind For they have the respect of flies...
