it comes when you're reading one of those books written by pseudo intellectuals buried in their despondent lookout on life comes when        They're writing on human's self-sabotaging nature, when they're peeling layers off and off, revealing the truth of ourself like they're        gods, Hermes the messenger, or angels, Michael, bringing to us thoughts we'd never have grown organically      that's what they believe,           what they tell themselves as they prune their feathers with pride as they impregnate you with the god honest truth and how did you live before knowing this? it's been with you all along, kicking and breathing and pushing      you just didn't know it, yet, but now you can as they preach their outlooks like it's a message that changes everything, that your life will implode as your mind wakes itself up -      they try to baptize you           gripping your throat with their      carpel tunnel fingers, reading glasses slipping down their noses as they lean over you, watching their words pour into you, their victims' throat, as they will it and all the while they blame you, because: Humans make themselves miserable      They write They bury themselves in all they hate and choose to burn all they love until they're alone and self-loathing and scarred unrecognizable      They write Of our hatred for humanity for every single individual that surrounds us and How we surround ourselves with them with crowded supermarkets and lanes of traffic because they fuel our suffering and That's all we crave      They write On our thirst for blood our lust for **** ****** war on How our society is fueled by violence and how we bathe in it with a grin stretched across dry  bleeding lips sharp teeth that rip through our neighbors' flesh with delight      They write that we're alone in suffering and surrounded by hate and we're wild animals driven to war out of boredom and That's human nature in a nutshell That's the truth revealed           nasty, gritty, honest      They write and that's when it comes, that gnawing in the      pit of your stomach, that scratching in the back of your mind      that claws its way           down into your throat where it      squeezes

write drunk, edit drunk, eat sleep breathe drunk, liquid pessimism

it's hard to tell what's truth anymore if it was ever easy to in the first place
noah
