Contagion – An Original Poem

It lingers in the air,
infecting those aware
with an insatiable lust,
as short memories
ridicule the afflicted
for distrusting
the trust.

Stacking symptoms outpace
this noble vaccine,
quenching my fever
with the firm face
of a desired queen.
Tomorrow I chase
an eagle, a kangaroo,
but never green.

Another junkie
dreams of mercury,
measuring sales in scales
troys and grams.
Poisoned hands
waive a hearse,
wallet departed.
Long live the purse!

Oh my fucking god! That's all I'm gonna say-twice-Oh my fucking god!

Thank you, I think lol

@gonzo I am not going to lie ( I didn't get this one) but am guessing it's about greed?

That is too bad, I figured you would have liked this one.
It is about gold fever and trading all the dieing fiat currencies into noble metals.

btw PM me in chat sometime :)
