Live Life Entertained

by Eric Sundin / August 17th, 2014

O Contentious Consumer
on to shopping paths hallow.
Doggedly, without humor,
rush out, splurge and follow!

So yet again on foray.
Ever jolted, wriggling,
heading among us moray, ((Moray = family of brightly colored voracious eels, generally non-
aggressive but dangerous if provoked))
on raids ever niggling.

But why cower splattered by cheap flatter,
acting out in fallacious the fable?
Enamored by incessant chatter,
settling for crumbs off life’s rich table?
