Shadows are nothing
but hollow salesmen
trying their best to swindle you
into buying bottles of synthetic sunshine
and books on how to make a silver lining
but for every ill they claim to cure
you'll get another itch to scratch
there's always a catch
when you're fishing with bait
when it comes to selling
the shadow-men are full of greed
and it's always buy one get one free
