Guilt; 'tis much like barbecue sauce

Drip, drip, drip... The Sauce Falls

As man slowly realizes the flavor

The weight of his sins


Slowly the sauce marinates

Sinking deeper and deeper

Into a man's once proud soul

His old flavor wears away

Replaced by tangy shame


The longer he sits in the sauce

The harder it is to separate

The more infused

Are the man's aspirations and the man's regret


The lips pucker

The clammy cheeks sweat

The sauce drips

The man stumbles; falls

No dignity. No longer.


Oh the agony!

Oh how the flavor is so strong!

Can make a man eat himself alive,


With a dying hunger of self hatred teeth chatter... Chatter...CHAtter...CHATTER!

Chomp.

'Tis bitten away
