The Bait

Panels of light hold you back

Channels of life mold the facts

Changes your sight to gold on racks

Things you don’t desire

Wile away your pile of days

Shrug and sway thru the guile of haze

While they say it’s done this way

I’ll take my chances with fate

Crock of bile from crocodiles

Mocking reptile, tear damp smile

Mark your dial, here comes exile

Oxen riled pound the aisle

Goring all who stand in the way
