unravelings







A navel veil,

             A grave Nile,

A vile vale unveils.


             "Unravels

Unreal

             Unnerving,"

Leaving gangs rave.

              Engrave alive

A gun avails.


Evils lie,

               Giving leave

Singing,

                  "Sang

                                Sung,

                  "Sang

                                Sung."


Level silver,

           Leaving leas,

Salvia vessels revel

           Grieving selves.

a fun kind of word play... at first glance seems a bit simplistic, just word play, but I think that's the beauty of it... just underneath the play is a bit of social commentary just waiting for the brain to wrap around and play with far more than just in semantics
