Are you a good person? Are you good men? Are you good women? Are you a mature adult? Because only a child Believes bedtime stories & fairytales. Go to sleep! I get it, You'd rather a fantasy Outside of reality. Get to work! Things still haven't fallen in place, You feel out-of-step; You're crawling And you feel you should at least Be walking. Wake back up! It's ******** I know, I hear you. But, here among us, This is our daily regiment And the butter of our sustenance. Eat your oats! I hear you, I get it, It's a lot to swallow. Get it down or choke!

A Contrived & Polite Nihilism
Are you a good person? Are you good men? Are you good women? Are you a mature adult? Because only a child Believes bedtime stories & fairytales. Go to sleep! I get it, You'd rather a fantasy Outside of reality. Get to work! Things still haven't fallen in place, You feel out-of-step; You're crawling And you feel you should at least Be walking. Wake back up! It's ******** I know, I hear you. But, here among us, This is our daily regiment And the butter of our sustenance. Eat your oats! I hear you, I get it, It's a lot to swallow. Get it down or choke!
Bedtime stories like the glories of battle & the honor in war. Lullabies like those sung of superstition. Nihilists & cynics are unworthy & undeserving. Narcissists & apathetics are unworthy & undeserving. Those who are so because it is willful. Ergo, those who have made their decision(s).
