Life Trail
Mentality drag
Floundering of lame sanity
Movement of bandwagon common reality
The crushing of crucible mandibles
Action chewing of granary life
Layed in conflated humility
Downcast in pale shadow of mediocrity,
Meanness and natural slavery.
Good sparkles seen only
In flames temporarily sustainable
Here and there littered
In bandwagon common reality
Which is a shaming sham of scum life
That's a trace of trail undefined
Like surveyors we're trying to peg it,
Earmarking it for a road construction.
