Snake and Oil

Hollow Enigma

Oh do i have the recipe

That is, instruction from calamity

 

I have the quick fix all the way to fly

Today i cook a mix and reach the bye and bye

 

No more books to be better with practice

You will no longer hate a lack of kiss

 

Systematic across the board

Try to jump only to be floored

 

Force i will this medicine to take

You unknowing even own sake

 

Like sisyphus’s stone he had to clench

Stop you will turning forever that wrench

 

When its over given what you awaited

Forever fixed your soul dies elated

    Thinkest thou so, eh? That's such a perfect title, like seems my daddy used to call them "snake oil salesmen"--la dee. How excellently rendered with good imagery and a taunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
