apiphile: (these bloody men)
[personal profile] apiphile
You're mostly motivating me to hate you, Big Name Poster

As much of a bauble of bullshit
As the pioneer pinafore America
The Hopescold sits yellow-fronted
On the Path(ology) beside my window;
Screaming TO DESPAIR IS TO BE THE ENEMY
Every day in at me as I write.
White paper, black ink, black thoughts,
White lies, truth-or-lies, consequences,
For inadequate Hope; whatever happens next,
will always be my fault;
I have the responsibility,
and none of the power;
As much of a pinafore of circumstance
As the nut-gathering bullshit,
The Hopescold trills: EVERY DESPAIR
IS WHAT BABY FUTURE FAMILY KILLS
LOVE HOPE HOPE LOVE, OR FASCISM ELSE;
I've been washing out the milk bottles,
Reducing the heating by degrees,
Foregoing the escape routes by air,
Land and sea; Because if I don't,
The Billionaire Bloat drowning the sky
will always be my fault;
I have the responsibility,
but not the power;
Can't even shut this fucking bird up.
