The Pretentious Browsing Suits
February 9, 2013
The pretentious browsing suits,
Careful to purchase accomplished silk,
Vacant and undesirably dreary,
Such an adequate camouflage for them,
Contemplated with less meaning,
Then Thursday’s trash ever could,
A flawless – immaculate – outfit indeed,
A deceased snake lines their necks,
No shame comes with those shoes,
When half the world’s total salary,
Fits in the back of their heels alone,
Only their ignorance is bliss.

Very classy, the use of metaphor is absolutely briliant. This is also kind of what comes to my mind when I think of coruption as well. Rich people blackjackets, everything is clean and crisp. I am definetly giving this a 5/5.

I can't belive it didn't get the Editor's Choice. It was really good, like really REALLY good. I mean the use of words is very amusing. You can really write. Keep it up! :D I'm giving it 5/5
