The Trade
A small boost in ego
A big taste of guilt
A big chance of destruction
A discretion of corruption
A sad self seduction
To choose to abuse the trust of the few
To please and pamper the willing and shamed
To hurt the co-conspirators
To spread around the pain
To be selfish and self-destructive
For no reason really righteous
For no particular lust
For no particular desire
For shameful weakness and pettiness
For indulgence as I liar
All in the face of comfort
All in the press of the page
All in absence of mind and logic
All a mistake
All a mistake
A small boost in ego
To be selfish and self destructive
For indulgence as a liar
All a mistake
All a mistake
The Trade
I like it, especially how stanza starts the same and the last stars with a line from each of the others
