Empty faces

No likes yet ♦

from the ABC set Anonyme's inglorious return to poetry

There are empty faces clouds our minds
And thrill-less hands to hold
And many in the shadow lands
Shine like foolish gold

For we compliment our eyes
Care nought about our souls
And search when wholesomeness can be
Somewhere beside us in our shoals

Like scavengers, we run to
The most alluring piece of meat
Chest, slim limbs, oval cranium
But lacking underneath

How true. Guess I'm another scavenger. Good work.
