Bottomfeeder's logic

Post by hester_prynne » July 25th, 2005, 9:31 pm

The spoils
of plenty,
are a bottomfeeder's
logic.
Abundant fallout,
via the big
o-verrated beast,
sustains us.

We evolve,
as defter-fish,
circling around
ancient stoic islands,
tempted by
frozen treat words,
yet never,
are we overcome.

Our strength of will,
is dive and thrive,
off the grimy-deep,
haughtily forbidden,
untapped
ocean floor,
that holds
us all.

....bottomfeeders from the depths of cesspool
....sittin in the dark, suckin on their drool
....learned too much from goin to school
....slobberin, throbberin, fool on a stool......

Heh.
It's not that bad, really.
But oh, the wicked writing is fun!

Elitism is such a funny thing--an ironic thing. The spoils of plenty does seem the bottomfeeders' logic. But the spoils of plenty tend to go the rich and wealthier. When the power-haves are sucking at the plentiful spoils on the bottom, I wonder how they blind themselves into the notion they're somehow different (let allone better) than the power-have-nots who are stuck feeding on the bottom on the just plain spoils?

Indeed Joel, that's a thought that's fathoms deeper than where i was when I wrote this. I think of the "spoils of plenty" as the leftovers deemed garbage by the elite.....for the majority to thrive on....
