we brought them in off the street
humans often seem sickly sweet
just watch how fast the dessert melt hones
We put in extra beds to put up these vagabonds
they made themelves at home in a split second
before long we were over run by their friends who beckoned
just getting them to leave seemed a professional undertaking
take courage until they are done invading
we made the beds and helped them prepare for sleep
Adult children overlap our own nauseating shortcoming vexations
From an epoch like a throne deflating oncoming generations
aggrandizers broke these little toys
These young with no vocation nor virtue
Who smirk darkly at their own weight in burden
knowingly aware of just how they occupy hinder and trouble
despite affluence these young ignore bricks and hug rubble
doubling down into their subtle self destruction
good cop bad cop parents ashamed reach for blackmail
The abundance didn't heal alas it maimed they flail
spindley youth unchallenged and pale
An incredible measuring stick for one's own patience
an extremely convincing smile camouflaged and fallacious
some bribables or considerable pocket change application
and skill at informal slang laced persuasion
The pariah wakes empty
as he slept dreamless
his face begs attention support
expecting the world offering his void
