They Are Amongst You

~ like mice attacking polecats ~

It is ‘All’ a False Front.
Nasty piece of work
that one… yet,
for all the ‘offhand
manner’, bollocks…
true ‘Malignancy’
takes careful thought
and consideration…
‘OBSESSION’ even.
Yeah, it’s the ‘slime’
attached to a ‘shit
-stirrer’s smile’
that you are sensing…
do not ignore it, mate.
‘Weak’ and ‘broken’
fuckwits cripple
themselves internally
with ‘morbid envy’
… they are attracted
by both the ‘Light’
and the ‘SHINE’…
of people Superior
to them… and, then,
behave like cowards
and parasites… trying
to diminish the object
of their [Self] ‘Torture’.
