A polished smile
bereft of kindness
baits a seductive trap
as unknowing fools
whose dull imperfections
scream for approval
as they casually venture
into the perverse
Such obliging minds
minds are the pleasure
of cruel intentions
seeking as they may
fragmanets of
immoral spontaneity
Desire is a need
to control and ones
own malevolence
accordingly becomes
the seeker of our own
proclivity.
The organ
is the master
the grinder churns
the wheel,
all that spills
is not lost,
if swallowed slowly.

I love this deep take on the insight of the human mind and it's deepest desires with the apparent general reactions to it. I have to admit I need a dictionary on a couple of words here, but it's alway's good to learn new vocabulary

The organ
is the master
the grinder churns
the wheel,
all that spills
is not lost,
if swallowed slowly.
Nicely worded.
