keep quiet Aug 24, 2012

 

she thinks if she stays silent

we will all go away

 the crowd that crowds her

 that wants to snatch from her

 what she has had to claw to get

 the survival of the fittest world w

here she had to do things

in order just to keep in the game

she scares me

she makes me think

she can’t make it unless

she seizes what she needs

and must live with the fear

 we me they him or somebody else

 might take it as if we want what

 she fought so hard to get

telling me she never cheated

and yet what does she call it

changing the rules of the game

making sure she is perceived

as the one on top

how far has she gone

to get where she is now

clawing her way to get some place

that isn't where she wanted to get

in a Savage world

where we devour each other

 it doesn't pay to stay silent

even though she believes it does

 we might lose track of her
