Damp ones

The fatherless fallen and demoted
Tis a world without mercy
world so lacking in compassion
and all excuses are held bible firmly

They come from across the swamp bleak and animal
Frowns that I must scrub into smiles
And the kings convict them and condemn them
And the world helps shun them

But I rip the curtain
And appeal to high god
For these broken men should live on
taste the sweetest flavors of destiny

And in the low forests in their minds
Wrought with foul creatures
Should we not give them dreams
The ones that are clasped like swords
To slay the beasts that surround them

Alas they feed the beasts
from the fodder of the highest and most pompous
their coveted posts
The carcass falls half eaten to the fatherless
They look up like blinded martians invaded

My hand is always here
to the swamp bleak and animals
Ignored people pushed to one side
In no one trust, in no one confide
