The loudest person

Goes down as the villain

Though to the devil

All say, “You’re so sweet”.

It’s very hard to see

What with all the cotton candy

How venomy is the smile

How crushing is the disdain

How absent is the care

How blatant is the utter inability

To notice, really notice

Anyone else

And forever, you know

Forever with no chance

Of winning ever

And yes, people become known

Yes, they do, but who has the time

My babies will be ruined by then

Don’t very wise men

Become known as very wise men

When they know a hopeless thing

When they see one

Good captains shout

Abandon ship

How dreadful to endure

A grave
