They've accepted themselves as worthless. <br />Giving in to subservience, <br />To flourish a form of obedience... <br />Only a blinded leech would love! <br /> <br />Drugged on status and the superficialness of looks. <br />Giving themselves over to bad diets without insight... <br />With a lack of discipline, <br />That now has caught up to each one of them! <br /> <br />Addicted to worshipping false gods and 'things'. <br />Believing confessing 'sins' will produce for them wings. <br />Distorted by their own reflections, <br />They believe their neighbors envy! <br />And sickened by myths... <br />To limit the lives God has blessed them with, <br />They sit reduced to produce their own sorrows in ignorance! <br /> <br />They've accepted themselves as worthless. <br />Giving in to subservience, <br />To flourish a form of obedience... <br />Only a blinded leech would love! <br />And none could care less, <br />How to spell 'shallow' or address it!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
