There are an infinite number of ways, oft filled with disdain

When, selfishly, one will devour a human spirit, and conceal it

While trying to strangle those around, by using rope or chain

To climb higher, above the rest, til they can, no longer, heal it

 

Word of the Day – Devour
FOWC with Fandango – Chain

Every day, we venture out, hell bent on human plundering

Offensive language spoken, as if we had fallen in a puddle

Conditions, not always auspicious, many times, wondering

How is it possible, to enlighten, when all we create, is muddled?

It’s best to check yourself, before finding fault in others

A fascinating concept, to augment, this thing called life

Lest you be derelict in understanding your fellow brothers

Never taking responsibility, only leads to certain strife

 

Word of the Day – Derelict
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Fault

To get the right reaction from something

You must act, without needling the cause

Step back, but don’t reverse your swing

Then hit it out of the park, without pause

When buying a home, keep a watchful eye

On what’s hidden, by each rock formation

It’s a good guess, no matter how hard you try

You can’t remove them, without aggravation
