The Respect of Flies

The Respect of Flies

A Poem by Jack Derbak
"

A 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...
