Rewind and Corrode

Drink this poison
Knowing the risk,
Ears are bleeding but
The dollars crisp.

Time is waiting,
Boots toe the line,
The mike is open
And words no crime.

Lethal windows,
Glass eyes and souls
Reflect unguarded
Life’s bitter coal.

Turning toxic
Running with hate.
It’s easy to spit,
To poke and bait.

Wings unfurled
The beast awakes
On the cobbled shoes
Of our mistakes.
