Toxins
((political carbon monoxide))
slips underneath closed doors
and between bedsheets
(stained).
Moral malfeasances.
Rottom perfume
clinging to pinstriped suits.
Power is the nightshade of politics.
(corruption).
An ironclad contract
with Destruction.
Fathering
all the rotting poisons in the sky.
Author notes
I'm thinking the "gentle persuasion" of money, power, and greed in politics today.
