i want you to know that this world is a gloriously sad, brilliant, depressing place,
full of people that will make you smile
and cry
and scream
and torment
and rave
and rant
and retaliate
in agony, marching to the beat of self indulgence

you'll hear them say, with conviction
this is good, or this is bad and
if you don't think so than
burn in hell or
******* outright

you just dance on your parapet
all the same

sway your body to the universe
and dribble your soul on the sidewalk
let the world witness glorious blasphemy
a body that's free
a mind that lives in ecstasy

just remember me
i swayed you off to sleep
a father with a small
prophesy
