And
We Wail
Blasted filth and painful gropings
mean little in this horrible world
of misunderstanding
nigger faggot call me an asshole
don't tell me what to do bitchfuck women-girl
die through closed eyes and nothing
don't know, don't care, don't try
hurt me, just so I feel
don't laugh, don't cry
i only eat rocks
because they are hard to chew
challenges give us a chance
persecution is so difficult
broken teeth and ripped gums
fragment our sidewalks of laughing beggars
and drunks who pretend to be who they are not
silly rabbit, trix are for kids
only kids know
who they are
they just play
we fucking work because we are dumb
not to make things better
but to make things worse
pounding headache plastered face
dreading tomorrow and age
death and fragility
weak religions that rely on fear
no love, no myth, no ideal
and we die hopelessly alone
hidden from wholeness
not well
sick with want and desire
of things we can't have
because we don't look for them
dripping faucet a drastic reminder
of the inevitable sink that does not work
and a plumber who doesn't care
pouched coveralls filled with funny-shaped tools
that don't do the job they're supposed to
grin slide a knife through your belly
blood warm and red
sees no salvation
and weakness brings out more despair
shadows of art censored
from wonder
hidden from hope
forgotten and lost forever from controversy
unchanging humanity of limits reached
animals always, we fall to dust
no more do we walk
we hobble, crippled, half-dead
sure to offend by our very presence of thought
goblet filled chalice of fakery
holy grail to none and all
what is evil when there is no good?
questions and answers and made up words
ideas and differences
illusion and function
virtual being brought alive by belief
dashed to pieces by people who think
they are right
when wrong is not known
and chickens lay eggs
on dorito sandwiches
mildewed with time
fluttered with weak attachments
friendships of chance
values twisted
solutions grabbed and misused
we fail miserably
always
it's in us
somewhere
alive
cut it away and we die
keep it safe and we try
for what though
and why
