narcissists

know it well

the wrenching deception

of 'Vanity's Blur'

as icy reality lashes

looks indeed on their

supposed value

cashes

the big checks that is

from all those

know it all gangly-on-lookers

the in crowd wanna bes

high on expensive drugs

with their empty headed flashy

lookers left overs

one might too casually observe

spilling from the night life rave

scene

in such ultra lucid reality

livid jealousy steals sordidly down

a nearby side street

to a pretty junkies paradise

where anyone can cash out her treats

this death roach needs a permanent bath

besides a good rubber leash to put on his

eager meat

and the silent praise of a thousand spit

out threats

won't assuage his festering urban pride

for all rejection in such place carries

with it a big sharp blade

and its cut this latest bad boy wide open

in mid stride

so too angry, abused and totally addicted now

this fast fading lost leach

is looking to skin revenge

off every last member of society's hide

the violence in him vies for some sort of

attention

so he kills for the show and beats bloody

just those who are free to go down paths

he himself for whatever the reason can not

each kill is a twisted attempt to fill an

emptiness of his own humanity

that never lets him forget

acceptance is long now out of his mortal

reach

his impending demise

when it comes

will only further serve another strung

out slug

as a sick guide to a seemingly endless

spiral into heinous self destruction

with only one final afterthought

'tis such a pointless pity

that just one tragically wasted life

can do so much damage to those who even

most innocently come in contact with it

free will is a very dangerous gift

to have been given to man kind............
