the splish-splish splashing of the tea

the crunch-crunch crunching of the surface

the thump-thump thumping of the steps

this is an itemized list of all my complaints because you just won't leave me alone
1. you keep disrespecting my personal space. seriously. just stay out of my bubble
2. you brag way to much. you keep inflating yourself to some god-like figure. be humble.
3. your hair is horrendous. bro. its like a weasel took a **** and then died on your face.
4. you don't listen to me. you keep interrupting me when i speak and its making me feel worthless.
5. you stalk me. it's creepy. you're always right behind me, even in the restrooms.
6. you don't do anything. when the night comes you don't walk me home you just run away.
7. you are a shadow. when i look in the mirror i see you but i hate you. i hate you so much.
8. you look just like me. when i try to hate you i just end up hating myself. i hate you.
9. leave me alone.

you didn't do anything wrong
I take the blame for everything

i'm sorry, i'm sorry,

nothing left to bury my head in

if big dog says die, we die.

big dog thinks for us, so that
we do not need to think for ourselves.

if big dog tells us to hate them
then we will hate them with all our might

if big dog tells us to praise him
then we will praise him like he's a god

if big dog tells us to be sacrificial lambs
them we will rip ourselves as ****** as the aztecs.

but if big dog is gone
who will think for us then?

It is beautiful;
was the sky always this blue
and lucid with creme lent away by
the heaven's tears?

It is beautiful;
were the oceans always this vast
and dark with the mystique of the millennia
chipped away at stone, like a forsaken
mason?

It is beautiful;
were the peaks and valleys always this detailed
wrinkled with strokes of cosmic paint, ridged like
a sheet of linen?

It is beautiful;
was the sky always as blue as the oceans?
Were the mountains always higher than the waves?
Was the snow always mingling with the clouds?

It is beautiful;
and, what a wonderful world
for us to borrow
for a just moment.

So I'm going to take my chance and laugh.
laugh at your stupid ***,
laugh at your stupid face, your stupid smile, that stupid look around you,
laugh at the fact that I'm so much better than you(don't worry, I'm perfect)
laugh until I choke on my own tears of joy,

You're such a loser
So I'm going to laugh at all your failures.
laugh at your mistakes,
laugh at your happy little accidents, awkward situations, control connotation
laugh at your futile little attempts to be big in the world, be seen and known
laugh until I'm rolling on the floor from bouts of elation

laugh at how important you really are

and the red wheelbarrow rusts away
when the sky starts falling again
and the heavens collapse

leave me be

and drift away alone

and venus starts getting chills
when mercury stops to take a breath
and when saturn turns a new leaf

and the future staves away
when the clock starts ticking awry
and the digits dance around

"we hold these truths to be self evident
that all men are created equal"
if all men are created equal
then how come

men were treated like property
always sunk into poverty
faced with such inequality
no chance for scholarly
credentials or a standing in the economy

never ever given a shot at success
stopped from owning business
or express themselves, when we try to influence
The zeitgeist of society, show signs of progress
nevertheless, we regress

the corners of the country still act like nothing has changed
generations raised on flawed principles, we need to update
and adapt to the new beat of the culture, stay sync with the tune
rhyme on the same rythym as everyone else
think different.

four of fifty people still reject me, call me a defect
because i'm an ugly splotch of paint in their reality
they call me a ******, a *****, their words reflect
their jealousy, fallacy in their faces
