Inheritance

The moment mortality makes its introduction and disrupts the monotony. The once imperceptible best-laid plans become all too obvious. Every well-wisher and do-gooding deed has an orchestrated hidden motive that even the blind can see.

A cascade of dumbfounded selfish voices crash through walls that talk and a serenade of manipulative whispers kiss the ears of wrinkled old children.

Blood is thicker than water but nothing’s thicker than an imbecile, it doesn’t matter what’s inhumane it’s only wrong if someone airs the laundry.
Heaven forbid the sickness spreads for a million grubby hands will tear the will to shreds.

As the tears of legal ink begin to flow, distant vultures fly across foreign lands to descend upon them and the vampire bares his teeth for the meal that Father Time prepares. Honored is the guest that’s blinded by the conniver for their ignorance is a currency within this chamber of snakes.

A lack of dignity laughs at rules and regulations, it renders all grace and decorum inert. Dignity is lost on the infirm and the greedy glad-eyed alike, dimpled is the buttock that hosts the leeches, and insane is the brain that realizes this.

The heir will inherit a throne of thorns but not before a host of maniacs rip pieces off for themselves, they all want to carry more than their weight in misery while the dutiful bite off their tongue and bleed to death.
