Bundle up your Prejudice.
Keep safe and warm your Scorn.
Set an extra plate for Hatred's sake.
A robe for friend Forlorn.
Yes, Usher in Sweet Ignorance.
Nestle near your Children's Fear.
Keep alive the Pain inside.
Dry Paranoia's Tears.
Fill your face with Rack of Lame.
Feast upon the Weak.
Pour a glass of Vintage Shame.
Gobble up the Meek.
Drown all Hope in Wallow Sauce
Gorge yourself on Greed.
Gnaw your way through Tolerance.
Pay Charity no heed.
Reacquaint Insecurities.
Renew Your Deadly Sins.
Gossip with your Neighbor’s Guile.
Deny your Next of Skin.
Mississippi Smoldering.
Spread ashes at the wake.
Casket burns like cross on fire.
Long dead hearts still ache.
Mississippi Smoldering.
Tomorrow died today.
Visitation noon 'til four,
Funeral yesterday.
