What do you fear more?
Poetic ramblings of a Scotsman.
What do you fear more
the monster in your head
or the one in your bed?
*
what do you hate more
the neighbour who complains and moans
or the one who eats human flesh and boils the bones?
*
What do you worry about more
the politician that lies and cheats
or the one that stomps on the poor with metaphorical cleats?
*
What's really better
to have loved and lost
or to hold onto the one no matter the cost?
*
When you think of the West
do you think it's the best?
When you think of the East
do you think it's the least?
or
When you think of the west
do you feel depressed?
When you think of the East
do you feel pleased?
*
Is the mouth of a stranger better than the arse of your love?
Do you strangle with bare flesh or wear a leather glove?
Do you want the infamy of a writer or the anonymity of a poet?
*
Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Found this in my drafts here on Vocal. Wrote it at a similar time to Spitting Feathers. It took a turn, let's just say that.
Hope you enjoyed my ranty mumblings.
