Fear
I fear
the spin of the wheel
the baby kingpin that once was dead
the puppeteers formerly sole survivors
now ignorant rulers of dust
I fear
the sickles that act redder than cold
the hunger in an ulcerous bowl of skin
the scavengers who walk as high class
pedestrians beckoning with their canes
I fear
the lack of viciousness
I fear
these lines aren't able
to explain
fear
