Lost in a world of sociables

By Mistress Morbid

Glancing around at these creatures of swagger guise
delighting in gossip...deceit...smut
the spot light shines so blindingly
in their faces yet they smile so wide
never blinking just standing calm,
cool and showing no emotion towards
others and how they feel
they push their way through people
like they are nothing more than an
obstacle blocking their way
they never once stopped to think
about something other than
themselves and what they want

whatever happened to

you get what you give........?
