Behind
the Scenes
No
conscience stricken apologies or penance for their sin
The splintered ladder that they climb, each rung a refuse bin.
No scruples, morals or reflection impede their direct line,
The compass hand secures their lift, the burden now is mine.
Their
destination and its timepiece ticks with no alarm,
No consideration checks the second hand of unkempt tribal harm.
The uniform of silence speaks and commands the upper hand,
Who's mind has stained the question mark of supply and demand.
