FALLEN FRUIT

HE DRESSES REAL GOOD 
AND DRIVES FINE CARS,
HE TALKS LIKE A SAVIOR,
WILLING TO AIDE AND ASSIST 
THE STRANDED OR THE LOST.

HIS CHOICE OF VICTIMS 
ARE RUNAWAY GIRLS,
HIS KEEN EYES CAN RECOGNIZE THEM
IN A STADIUM CROWD.

HE ANNOUNCES HIMSELF 
AS SOMEONE WHO CARES, A SHOW OF CONCERN, 
AS HE COMPLIMENTS THEIR HAIR,
HE OFFERS THEM A RIDE, AND SOMETHING TO EAT,
THEY ARE YOUNG AND CONFUSED 
IN NEED OF SLEEP.

LIKE A LURED PREY, THEY SWALLOW HIS BAIT,
UNAWARE OF HIS INTENTIONS,
THAT WOULD SEAL THEIR FATE,
THEY ARE HIS PROPERTY NOW
WALKING THE STREETS, SELLING THEIR BODIES 
AS STREET MEAT.
