Barney Greenway The rats on / this earth / have nothing on you An insect / to those which / crawl the sewers Devourer, Plunderer, deceptor Sniff out a / scheme / and leave the scraps behind voracious ? Insatiate ? A nose attuned to greed Devourer, Plunderer, deceptor Evade all traps And come out gnashing, snarting, gnashing, snarting ! Disguise are many Media palm or man in the street. They'll scavenge your emotions and leave you diseased They'd steal a last possession and smile as you concede Devourer, Plunderer, deceptor
