Concept # 122

By Withering petals

Neglected as his unfit child
Ignored as a means to an end
Blind of any conceptual notions of revenge

A tripod of dishonored fate
humorless tact
fish hooked bait

unwanted scenery in a movie meant not to last
the arrogant devil, his needy assistant,
an unwanted child
the cast

three background players
in a box office flop
yet still the Director ...
just won't fucking stop.
