Old Cocks Die Soft In The Mud (Writing About A Famous Couple)

Youth standing beside an old rogue



uplifting dead spirits, bringing them to



life once again. Dressing an old king



who indicates he needs a young friend.


 



Falling in the clasps of a sordid mess,



an old codger could not pass the test.



To the pit of horror, his scum released,



a racist demon unfolds it's crease.


 



Poor, poor man, years unexposed but



as time comes to end, before the



inevitable takes it's place, an old man



is placed in the hot fire of disgrace.



How do we fare, the youth that brought



him down or was it innocence who



threw in the towel and a demons catch



threw a long home run. A struggle



begins within the deep seated bowel.


 



Anger begets a scorned, wretched man.



His rage is ugly and his words are dark.



He fires the sword far because he can.



Words so deep marred with dirt, an old



man strikes a young woman down.


 



A bombastic woman with strength of a



tigress. His sword bounced back and



left no scars, only a smile etched upon



the face of venus and mars.


 



Old cocks die soft in the mud. Jagged



knives, piercing eyes, crocodile tears,



wear many a disguise. The betrayed,



betrayed by an innovative youth awww



telling it like it is, in the vat of old



truth.
