despair ****** up all air, its currency is TV gold, spent on rerunning human misdeeds, hate unmasked, past infection point, reason is virally infected, what goes unspoken, is we eat our young, they burn us on crucifixes, sins we committed or not, we, living in the golden age of rage, no good reason crowned basest instincts of intolerance is illness of all human supremacy, it’s cheap and easy to hate, and its even cheapest to hate the haters back, so the circle unending, wish I could sound less stupid when my heart keeps ringing, can’t we all get along? Please. Idiot. naive! guilty. toleration of nothing will suffocate all voices, what good is this poetry gig, if we can’t drive out all hate, no salvation, no hope, buried my writing utensils, cause nobody’s listening ‘cept to the sound of their own righteousness no need for only love poetry, when hating somebody is just (ha!) so pleasurable, let’s hate everyone, for no good reason...
