May 2016
lost in opinion
it no longer matters, the facts
only how ideology is presented
the loudest
gets the attention
the most vicious
gets the press
the rest of us
get to watch –
the ugliness of the opinionated *******
has become the standard
in which the United States
works under
the days of community based organization
with goals befitting the common man
are dead
replaced with selfie-sticks
and Instagram pre-teen twerkers
shaking ***** free from development
trying to shimmy flat chests
attempting to sexualize
childhood –
grossly negligent of truth
the masses pass gas and laugh
instead of begging pardon
and creating a social structure
that respects its citizenry
my blood boils
my stomach churns
as I feel my own guilt –
too quick to attack those who disagree
ready like a pouncing tiger
to spring and troll those I love
especially on social media
I have no feelings of compassion
I have no care for your thoughts
all that matters is that I am the loudest
ugliest
opinionated *******
in that given moment…….


But I tire…..

the hard truth is I am the problem
I am the troll
I am the hate speech monster
looking to poke holes in your theory’s
bust your *****
over just about anything
leaving nothing safe
but images of children
and the occasional cute pet……


I used to be such a nice guy….
maybe it’s time to leave the internet
and reconnect with myself
naturally –
