S**t Stained Skies

As I gaze up at the s**t stained skies,

I ponder if you are really, truly, wise,

to inhale that sweet nectar of success,

walking through this life as if blessed,


treading upon the heads of those lesser,

their faces in mud brings you pleasure,

sticking your uppity snoot even higher,

into the the s**t-stained skies as a liar,


its crystal blue now befouled with feces,

spewing from your mouth as all do see

those you so heartlessly, belittle, destroy,

as though their lives were but merely toys.


Where will it end, and when will it stop,

in your selfish desire to reach the top?

Until, in surprise, you find no top rung,

plummeting to earth of your life undone,


as those you walked upon look at you,

your life now over, your body so askew,

to stand at your grave of songs unsung,

and toss upon your casket a ladder's top rung.
