Excrementia (Polite Translation: Excrement for brains)

by

J. M. Hallett

Lay open the bean
that encapsulates time
Cut away the sludge
Slice through the rind
And once you’re in
tell me what do you find
Compassionate mercy?
No, nothing of the kind
Love or sincerity?
I see no signs
The maniacal ego?
Yep, it’s everywhere
Stubbornness and greed?
Yes, they’re both in there
along with hatred,
perversion and despair
What about honesty?
None I can tell
But deceit is prolific
it permeates each cell
Well, what’s down deeper
below all that?
Hmmm_ well, as we suspected
another layer of crap!
