"Those Who Stand For Nothing."
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD
I
Funny how you say those lies
With a straight face all the time
And I am mortified by the number of teeth
Who threaten to bite into my flesh
II
Buried in the fancy words
Are threats and other unimaginable things
Sprouting like flowers of death
the promise that will come in the end
III
And I stand there listening
To every little thing you say
Just another one of the many bystanders
Of these our dying days.
