"CREEP"

Tis but an offering

Tis but an offering

This scandal..

on a lurid scale

once but a tidbit round one table..

now industrial

and unstable.

The rich and famous

like ants and bees

raging at the simple folk

that with a broken stick..

do their feathered nests they break.

In their tiny squeaky voices

shouting at their choices,

"There is naught to see here,

my dear lad.

Naught but smoke and nothing bad.

So quit your poking,

there's nothing.!" Sad

" But oh look at that man yonder

with your liberty he absconders

while I'm trying to save you

from indignities and lies

about some little girls and flies."

STOP!
