The Slippery Slope of Misjudgments

Do you value toxic assets?

Do you throw away your day,

And strive towards the fruits of celebrity?

The vanity, the immorality, the implied volatility

You’re afraid of failure’s tenuous grasp,

Yet you strive for the unworthy.

I see your kaleidoscopic emotions,

As you teeter on the edge

Of your harsh barrio reality.

After your latest demon-stration

Of your fallout of weaknesses,

I envision life without you,

I imagine the legacy of friendship

You trail behind you, irrevocably linked

To that animated dance floor where we met.
