Disappointed Dentist

Stick a lolipop

into the mouth of moments

your life is a child

and somewhere in there

you give a flying ****

about the moon

and no it's not cheese.

That mouth knows what dirt tastes like

but that wont stop me from pouring caramel

and cigarettes over it.

I need a fix

of candied dirt

and addiction.

I'm not afraid of the eclipse

because I'm already hooked on the dark.

So lock the door

&

draw the curtains

&

be content.

 

The tide wont be knocking

no matter how much you

want it to fill the room

or how big is your sweet tooth

because

hunger

is BIGGER

and eventually

anything will do.

So thank the moon we were wearing seat belts.

Otherwise we might be vegetables

eating only exhaust

like Hiroshima

force fed the sun

because

you only make war on an empty stomach

or with an insatiable hunger.

 

Be content

 

for the civilians and their children

who only know the taste of war.

Idiot flavored idiots with a hint of

dead mothers

that will bore a cavity so big

it'll put holes in the head

of kindergardens everywhere.

Who write their valentines on bombs.

Who's love murders buildings,

topples families,

plowing through bodies on city streets all to reach

nobody.

 

Be content

 

for the people

who aren't

you because when parents ******* in a box

you call a country means

you don't care

you put genocide on the menu

and there are some things that just wont do.

As I grow weary of rivaling chefs pointing fingers

in circles forever

becoming a porthole to the ****** business

becoming the unsuspecting manhole for

the human animal's existence

 

in crossing.

 

Mothers may find safe shelter in the sewers

but it reeks of prepackaged liberty

express delivery

to

every where.

 

Be content.

 

Because to start a revolution means living it

and what better way,

to ******* a reckless pace

that finishes first in hunger,

starting fist fights with other people's lives

and forgets even sooner,

than

to

be

content.
