SelFish Tank

by charles frederickson

American XS petty A-greed ad-vice
Misbegotten commercial Biblical proportion covetousness
In Gold Wet Rust corrosive
Justice versus Revenge trading places

Selfish sharks masters of bloodsucking
Decadence enslaved by material luxury
Snagged entrapment net profit fear
Big toothy mouthfuls often choke

Chubby demons possessing insatiable appetites
Pursed lips pucker drawstrings pulled
Overabundance stoughed down throat fed
Up potluck kitty never-never enough

Seven deadly sins just desserts
Menu order committed to memory
Learnt by heart parroted soullessly
Devoid of deep-fried oily sensitivity

Ferocious wrath lusty unwholesome desire
Slothful laziness goodness gracious envy
Gluttony craving second helping buffet
Fallen pride hell-bent bottomless pit

Impacted wisdom embedded tooth yanked
Roots hanging onto dear lifesaver
Novocaine prickly pleasure ÁV pain anesthetic
Benumbed gums tingly sharp slap

We grow small desperately striving
For greatness justifying disowned selfishness
Living simply without frills satisfied
With less plenty of nothing
