Entry to Unnecessary line challenge

Undying thirst

unending hunger

immoral soul

and bending further

the truth, a cancelled blunder

concealed and jumping further

shadows of fiends black and sombre

creeping back and clutching wonder

stuffed down and buried, given a number

Do you think they know they're full of shit?

look back and see the monsters

suit-wearing fear mongers

and holier than thou clusters

think talking useful as they muster

faux courage as monster hunters

but really, they’re just old clunkers

vying for voice like vultures

hoping we’ll come along and bluster

to glamorise their image under

false truths and savvy lustre

like colourful fawning jesters

dancing to tunes to bolster

the veil of bull and utter

delusion of grandeur.
