I was going to try
trying but it's hard with all
this aspartame bleeding me out
and if you wouldn't mind
I'd like a sip of water so
the fluoride can drown
my aggression, I could get up
but apathy is something treasured
in tents outside government buildings
fighting a power I don't understand
or you don't understand; it's not the 1960s
brother, power is diffuse and it moves
and watches and thinks before we do,
so pass me another brain lesion and
I'll take our sorrows like a shotgun to the
back of my fleshy 98 degree mouth
counting the fucking seconds flat
Awesome. And relevant.
ReplyDeleteWow, so powerful. Each line like a bullet. Enough to wake one from apathy for certain. Well done.
