A tired assertion
A sordid affair
A record repeating
With no one aware
Does it scare?
Layered like an onion
Cut pole to pole
Left for the vultures
Out in the cold
Is it old?
Caught on a snare
Spotted the scene
Water will rise
Drowning the sea,
I fill my cup
But it's not enough
The tide is high
A casual observer
A room full of stares
A subtle unnerver
Out of its lair
Stuck in a cycle
Foreign to most
Acidic environs
Sicken the host
Far too close
Stuck on a snare
Spotted the scene
Water will rise
Drowning the sea,
I fill my cup
But it's not enough
The end is nigh
Layered like an onion
Cut pole to pole
Left for the vultures
Out in the cold
Is it old?
