THE FAITHFUL WATCHERS

Folder: 
JOURNAL #9

like tenacious bricks set all a scatter

certain intended purposes are just

about to matter

the one with the lead filled eyes

will take his foolish aim

but what he then accomplishes

will one day redirect the game

in perhaps his own bartered favor

a new point he will soon salvage to savor

such a blatantly blood thirsty lot

to fight for money, cruises, jewels and what?

a chance to be locally famous for all of an hour or less

and for such shoddy prizes

their very soul they are ready to confess

in such cornball contests I must rush forward to proclaim

that I do not readily believe

the products and cash certainly are the big draw

but their under handed advertisers seem almost

too eager to deceive...................
