modern day brutus

Baseball bats with teeth embedded
Lead in the pipes, with zeal unfettered
Paint chips, arsenic and parochial letters,
Melanomas grow on tethers made to measure.

Petitions, patience and a hatred of pleather,
Partitions grabbing the spine of a sector,
Perishing goods and a rotting director,
Ouroboros born of the self loathing Hannibal lector.

Vacuums take out eyes, paper tigers remain toothless,
As the mitigator's passion turns sour, they become ruthless,
Eclectic problems can only be solved by those wise and foolish,
They all become victims of the modern day Brutus.
