sticks and stones, <br />Smith and Jones... <br />pedantic thoughts, <br />and mechanical arms. <br />broken shell, dipped in hell, <br />buy or sell, price foretells... <br />hearts dont beat, <br />safe from harm! <br /> <br />tried and true, <br />old and new... <br />bruises worn, <br />scars are touched. <br />me and you, dare to do, <br />only the few, coming to... <br />so take little, <br />give back much! <br /> <br />feel too much, too hard to think, <br />light a smoke, take a drink. <br />choice before us, swim or sink... <br />taste the hurt, smell the stink! <br /> <br />feed the hunger, <br />simple wonder. <br />mouths and feet, <br />in the street. <br />real and hope, grab the rope, <br />better than dope, dipped and soaked. <br />break the glass, <br />feel the heat! <br /> <br />feel too much, too hard to think, <br />light a smoke, take a drink. <br />choice before us, swim or sink... <br />taste the hurt, smell the stink!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smell-the-stink/
