Maggots

The cliff side
Stood tall and free
No match for the enormity 
Of the sea

 

Freedom ebbed away
Little by little 
Day by day

 

Inevitable collapse 
But still unique

 

Sharp edges of rock remain
Different from other pebbles on the beach

 

The sea strikes again
Removing all uniqueness 

 

Until all the rocks look the same

 

Smooth and uniform 
Defeated players
In an unwinnable game

 

The many colours 
Of plasticine
Representing 
Different dreams

 

Mixed together
To form brown
In vast ocean..
Thoughts drown 
Wings are clipped

 

Metamorphosis in reverse
Until all animals in the herd
Look and act the same

 

Wriggling in unison 
Consumption of everything 
Soon it\'s gone 
Driven by greed
How they feed 
Breathing through their arse holes
Pulsating 
Pupating 
How they stink
Fleshy pink
