BARTERERS OF THE ILLICIT MEAN

 

 

Barterers of the illicit mean
Are idolatrous sycophantic s***s
They peddle away their innocence
Ogling naked sopping butts

 

They relinquish the inner worthiness
That radiates from within the soul
Pandering to the empty flesh
That will never make them whole

 

They barter away their morality
Freely selling their inner dreams
Giving away their esoteric treasures
For purely lascivious means

 

Their delicate breasts of reverence
Are lapped to fulfill lustful aches
Tools meant to be exclusive
Are given to polygamous mates

 

Growing out of Hell's prepuce
They hock their wanton flesh
Stealing our communal virginity
Despite any pleas of protest

 

These Barterer's of depravation
Covet our pride every day
Displaying taut accepting bodies
On our laptop's liquid crystal display

 

Do not partake of their poison
It is an intoxicating decadent thrill
Solitary sexual masturbation
Ecstasy without need of a pill

 

Ignore the pornographic maelstrom
The beating of your emotionless flesh
Find a real love of worth
Give that lover your best
For carnal love is empty
It will always fade in time
Find a real companion
That can please your body, heart, and mind

You use some great imagery in this, but take care that it's not too much - it's better, I think, to have little bursts of imagery so as to season the piece instead of making the entire thing out of it. All things in moderation.
Also, no need for the apostrophe in 'Barterers'. The apostrophe show's possession, whereas if there's no apostrophe it's just plural, which I think is what you meant.
Good work.

Good catch! I forgot to take the apostrophe out. The poem was initially titled Barterer's lust for the illicit mind" I changed it and forgot to take it out. Additionally I wanted this poem to be a bit more vulgar. Usually when I write a poem like this I flitter around the topic. This poem is about lust and the marketing of lust. It has to disarm the reader at times with its boldness. The butts, masturbation, and lapping breasts are designed to do just that. Its not as poetic but it has purpose. It may seem deficient in delicacy, refinement, and taste but that is by design. Thank you for reading and giving such a good review. I appreciate the catch on the apostrophe. I didn't catch it.

Interesting piece...keeps the mind moving; almost too much.
"Find a real love of worth
Give that lover your best"

My favorite line.....you can love one greatly or love many but not both.....
