You Crab walking Sh!T Talker
You never quite choose a side
You never try to step forward
Your're always looking for someplace to hide

Concealing your own malignancy
You hide waiting to attack
Stealing around personal spaces
Waiting to stab others in the back

You're a ear-hustling skittering side peddler
A rodent best kept underground
Your rancid festering vermin
Whose home will one day be found

Snakes like you slither and shuffle
They devour and leave misery in your wake
For nothing in you is born of compassion
Everything in life you take

But soon my repugnant varmint
you will get what you've deserved all along
The cheese on my trap will catch you
And then POP! 
Your evil will be gone!

There will always be vermin in life.  We have to know they are there so we can avoid them or get rid of them.  Some people do not value life.  It is a fact of the world we live in.

I love it!! I could feel the disgust. And I love the POP.

Thats what writing is about, taking the reader on a journey.

That was great trip with a great ending, thank you :)

Thank you for reading.  Vermin are in our lives.  You can take this poem literally or metaphorically.  The trick is to avoid or get rid of them in our lives.  Either you expose them for what they are or you trap the real vermin.  It is all up to the person.  Thank you for connecting with this piece.
