Civilized Savages
A Poem by
Sirius King
My Thoughts On The World We Live In
Cannibalistic animals
Feeding
Off of each others' pain
Blood sucking leaches
Reaching
For their own personal gain
Civilized savages
Educated fools
Empire of vampires
Rearranging the rules
Disguised in neckties
Briefcases
And smiling faces
Cloaked in lies
Spiritual wickedness
In high places
Coagulated rivers
Calculated killers
Cryptic crimes
Comprised by
Gifted minds
Concrete jungle
Play the game
"or be the game"
The weak who stumble
Are hunted down
And maimed
If you can’t beat ‘em
-join ‘em
It’s the only way
To survive
Stepping on the heads of others
Just to stay alive
Its dog eat dog
And every dog has its day
Today is mines- so be smart
When you hear the bark
…Stay the hell out of my way!

You feel the same way as me about the people at the top. Evil muther fuckers! I gotta say though dude, I use to like Lauren hill, till I find out she's racist as f**k. That doesn't reflect your poems though. I'm working my way through them. Keep up the goodness.

Loved the Rhyme Scheme title and The Message. Also a Fan of Ms.Hill which really makes me understand the flow of this poem even better.

Every word...took me deeper into this man-made chasm of the executive order; the rich get richer and the result will be just as you predict, I believe: the "dogs" will have their day. Well done, SR.
