Has it always been the age
Of trying to define truths?
The further back we look
It always seems so staged
Privileged up in the booths
Constantly rewriting the playbook

It’s always easier to be ignorant
Men have claimed this for our history
Always leaving suffering in their wake
Here’s to all that feel impotent
Trying to survive in the grand scheme
And protecting everything that’s at stake

Spiteful hope is what we can give
To challenge the lies that still live
Always unwanted
What purpose does this have, man
Get the **** out now
Stumble through this place
Claim it as your base
Make it look like a disgrace
Waste more of our time
Weaponize your words
Shout them in every direction
Then expect a loyal herd
Tell us all of your lies
Never know an objection
Rig every election
Lie to our face
You shone light
Everywhere and all the time
Then created a supernova
Casting everlasting night
Every summer emits your light
And every winter steals it away
I sit and wait for global warming
To destroy everything
And bring me back the day
Go visit other
Places and let me get rest
You big old bright *****
Buildings come crashing down
Explosions deafen everyone’s ears
Glass shatters and rains
When you come near
I put on my suit
Dig my mask out for the finale
Grab my tools and race out
To see my city look like a valley
The damage is done
The citizens mourn and try to prevail
If only they didn’t have a hero
That only knew how to fail
A word here
                           A syllable there
          Should it rhyme?
WHO THE **** CARES?!

As long as you remember
                    The subject it’s about
               Poetry is poetry
                            No need to argue and shout

Wait, you guys weren’t?
It was just me yelling and screaming?
                                Well **** now I don’t know
          If there ever was a meaning
