Sour Is The Smell



Sour is the smell,
Of betrayal jailed without bail.
Hoping to sail through,
Acts of treason.
And intended crimes commited to prevail.

Sour is the smell.
Contaminated and meant to addict,
Those pledging allegiance to perform...
Corruption, division and continuous conflicts.
Until too sour became the smell of it.

Although...
Too many are now drugged,
On the doings of thugs.
Choosing them as heros to idolize.
Regardless if they have turned,
The quality of lives to value...
Into a living hell many deny the heat of it!
