Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

when you look around
you can't miss the destruction
that a handful of heartless egomaniacs
have instigated in a small amount of time

but folks still sing happy birthday
and mow their lawns and pick veggies
from their gardens, still go to the movies
and to see live musicals, and dance at parties

this is living
this is the big fuck you to the meanies
this is not the same as digging a hole
and inserting your head, not the same as cowering

this is collective appreciation of all the good things
before us, this is demonstrating the things we love
so as not to collapse into a quagmire of desperation
we must reject hopelessness, we must going on living

yes let's all give a big fuck you to the meanies.

FUCK YOU MEANIES
now That's poetry
a balm to the ears
a collective sigh
an explosive middle finger
Now don't you feel better
I do
despite not making the world
a better place
sometimes you just need
to explode
with vulgarities
even if you're inside your home
and you are the only one
that one that's going to hear it
