Land Sharks

Land Sharks

A Poem by Apparition
"

I work at a used car dealership, and this is a poem about my feelings towards the place where I make ends meet.

"

 Land sharks creep where the hate breed sleeps

Profile: Prostitute, destitute, downtrodden
Profile: Immigrant, irrelevant, menace
Sickle cell suckle out of brand named muzzle
Same game, different arena
Got the pieces to the puzzle
Fool’s drool over gold and hold drugs covered in mold
White ghosts host the most robust toast:
“Cheers to the fast life,”
The reason that slime dog billionaires don’t act right
These are the facts of life
Kill or be killed, spill the blood of your enemy,
Even if they’re only bleeding pretty pennies
My tolerance is intolerable
Time to spill all the marbles
The used car czars are out for your wallet and your…yarbles?
Yarbles: A man’s marbles, and the keeper of his seeds
Wanted by the land sharks because their blackened hearts are filled with greed
“I hold your own health over your head, even if you wind up dead!”
Said the man with crimson hands, no conscience
No honest, no wicked wattage
Leave the b***h dead in a ditch and eat her candy cottage
I dwell in land shark heaven, also know as human hell rotted.
