**** SPIDERMEN: Proverbs 1:17 ****
They spin and heat up greyhaired promises in their microwave
of deceit, hoping to catch you and I in their web of lies
They throw their nets in the paths of our hunger and hope,
garnishing their traps with baits of stomachstructure.
Like overgrown infantile demons, they desire to suck us dry
from the tips of our inked thumbs.
Have you looked closely at their smiles, grinning out from
screens and street sheets? ... Do you not see the blood of our fathers dripping
from their fangs?
Are we going to be enrobed in their ankara again, dancing
feverishly to the melody of packaged rice and stockfish?
A wise king was said, "surely in vain is the net spread
before the bird", would they ensnare us again?
Would we be deceived again with lies that are thick as
thieves and deceptions as obvious as the moon on a clear night?
Spiders do not love flies....these Spidermen are not superheroes.
Let's vote wisely in 2015.
Happy Sunday peeps.
