FUCKpoetry

You run and hide.

Afraid to your core.

They’re after you.

Soon they’ll catch you.

There’s no closet you can hide.

They’ll break in and infect you.

You’ll be just like them.

You will be one of them.

You can take my family

when you pry them from my cold dead hands.

America didn’t storm Normandy

to be taken over by the red bands.

Taken you all too long to see

the American dream to be free

can only be gripped by white hands

You can lock us up

but you can’t shut us up

if you think we’ll lay down

then you’ve got us fucked up.

This country was built on my people’s backs

but we won’t build your walls

brick tumbles quicker than it stacks

“Books aren’t political”

clearly you didn’t fucking read them well enough.

We are living in Fahrenheit 451

they’re banning the books but protecting the guns.

Apparently to be American read

is to not understand a word said

to read 1984 and think this isn’t our bed.

My allegiance is not for sale

you took away the right to choose

too lazy to even watch The Handmaid’s Tale.

All this does is fucking harm

we’ve got the fattest, ugliest fucking pig

I’ll laugh when you get cucked

Melania doesn’t love you

You fucking selfish bastards

I hope a Luigi comes through your backdoor

and only spares the Jake from State Farm actors.

What possessed you to grow so greedy

you used to be a neighbor to the needy

now you're the neighbor that will fuck the wife nextdoor

on the child's bedroom floor.

Fuck State Farm during a time of crisis even more

Asked a man how he was doing today

“My name isn’t in the obituary… yet.”

Fucking… ‘yet.’

The word hung in the air like a question, like a tease, a taunt, to death itself.

I laughed, thinking the man in his age had humor.

His stoic face unmoved, eyes glazed over, the many years showing in each crease.

In those lines I read years of hardship, heart ache and heart break.

Counting down the years like pages left in a book too short.

I could feel the weight of life he carried up to that point, almost back breaking.

No joy, just work and pain, an existence of mere existence.

Just as the sweat was beading down my face, and I was getting ready to apologize.

New year you’re the same fucking bitch

barking all this shit about change

you see a better lane

but you’re a dog with an itch

talk about how you can switch

but the fleas are telling

no one’s buying the bullshit you’re selling

to make sense of the world

but the shit they’re saying

You’ve got to be

fucking kidding me!

The dumpster fire Trump

racist chump

rapist punk

that’s your person

of the fucking year?

Something wrong with your fucking gears

the man who’s made so many live in fear.

This is the worst fucking year

wear a watch high

to watch time fly

to waste time

is a fucking crime.

That’s what they say

that we should seize the day,

they just don’t want a worker

turning into a thinker.

Thinkers are lazy

thinkers are crazy

all they do smoke weed

a thinkers mind is hazy

they can never succeed.

They want us to think

that time to think

is time spent doing nothing

a thinker is always

fucking up something.

Because those who think

a rational thought

dream of change in ink

in schools not taught,

they watch the time fly

while they get high

If you didn’t use your blinker

Get the fuck back.

This traffics got me off the walls

If I see one more fucking truck with balls

more like fucking cowards

always looking backwards

minimum wage not meeting standards

while they’re drinking vineyards.

Always with one knee

on the neck of the country.

Claiming grace from the steeple

with a jagged edge

elephant tusk.

A villain a horrible father and then some

taking money from cancer children

all because the orange fuck said jump

disgusting little creature bar none.

Fuck Musk

but don’t forget

I’m sick of this time of year

there’s too much fucking Christmas cheer

the way your grin stretches ear to ear

I want to bitch slap you and grab a beer.

So suffocating and sadistic

the holiday was once simplistic

now it’s green greed Capitalistic

The news is in the world stood still

the CEO just got shot

but they’re still gonna drop the bill

like it was fucking hot.

They want a moment of silence

but my condolences are out of network,

they say the answer isn’t violence

but the system doesn’t work.

All the evil in the world that we live in

that shit starts at the tippy tops

the CEO of Water said it’s not a given

human rights don’t matter if the money stops.

Maybe violence isn’t the answer it’s a crime

but what else are we to do?

Hands out begging for more fucking time
