The Canal

the canal

a small yet deceiving form of passage

and ever since i journeyed through this gate

its been nothing short of a baggage

continuous taxes from The Owner of the site

and i haven’t travelled back through this place since the winter of 2006

so 20+ years of their attacks make the tension quite right

tariffs and taxes that are verbally, mentally, and physically abusive

the words, the actions, the tone they use

and then after all these take place, they pretend they do no wrong, how elusive

verbally charged

“I dont care when you came through my canal, you owe me” as if their was the choice

boundless berates of bullying and belittling for the broken to bear

but when the earsplitting shrill of their screaming subsides, all the unfortunate rejoice

mentally manipulative

using their verbiage that goes back and forth like a match of tennis

treating you like a cattle, who’s success is only due to their care

nothing more than a mule to a massacre with a malicious menace

physically violent

after more mental antics, acting in assault is the answer

a deal can never be reached between our parties

because of their intent to leave scars that show worse than ones from a cancer

The Owner loves having control of their canal and all who pass through it

an ownership rather than partnership, a wrathfulness rather than peacefulness

their endless reminders that tell me never to travel near this shit

The Owner of this channel gets offended at the mention of greener grass

so a lack of accountability blinds their eyes

for their blatant irascibility, ignorance, harrowing, and hypocrisy is asinine like a dog chasing its own ass

The Owner must understand that to cease more people curse its waters

they must tend to their own pride and trauma, understanding a different perspective

What would you rather act as: a commoner with no king or a king with no commoners

only if I knew years and years ago, that traveling down that canal would bring so much plight

confrontations on the financial burden you brought them to intentionally blackmail you is synonymous a dimming light

only if I wasn’t related to The Owner of The Canal, than would I end this fight
