Nihilistic Anarchist

HA-HA-HA

You consider yourself a nihilistic anarchist.

 Your view on life is pessimistic

   yet extreme and violent and retarded and rude,

    says the inhabitants of the town. 

     They don't like what you do.

      They consider your actions immoral. 

       But you think your actions are just, for

        what does it really matter? 

          Does anything even matter? 

          Yesterday you went to the local library and pissed

            in The Scarlet Letter. You stole Bukowski. 

             Then you went to the mall and into 

              the expensive clothing stores and set

               the shirts and jackets and pants and socks on fire. 

                They caught you stealing from there a couple weeks ago,

                 and this is how you resolved the issue,

                  with a Bic lighter. 

                   Walk in casually, flick the lighter on the nearest cloth, 

                     walk out, next door, repeat step two and walk out, 

                      and repeat steps one to five and then exit the mall...

 

                        You carry a sharpie on your person as you frolic about the town,

                          leaving your signature graffiti. 

                           It isn't that bullshit graffiti you see everywhere.

                            This is different. It's your Magnum Opus. 

                              In bathroom stalls, on stop signs, on the bus stop bench,

                                on the sidewalk, on fire hydrants, on cars, on windows,

                                  in library books, on products in stores, 

                                   you leave a message to everyone who will ever see it,

                                    they will know that it was you, the person with no identity,

                                      but with a signature... 

                                        Some people will walk by and their eyes will obliviously 

                                         scan right over your mark, the insignia of Not You. 

                                           But others will see it, and that's all that matters, 

                                             if someone notices your mark.

                                              And that's not all.

                                               You don't have to deal with people. 

                                                You don't even wait on them either. 

                                                  F**k waiting in lines. 

                                                   You honestly don't have time for that bullshit. 

                                                     When you're idling at a stoplight, 

                                                      and there is no other cars around, 

                                                        you don't satisfy the red light. 

                                                          You get to take without giving, at your own non-expense, 

                                                            you get to slap a*s whenever you want, 

                                                              you get to be an a*****e and just not give a s**t. 

                                                                That's what you are.

                                                                   Now look at you're life today.

                                                                     Was it worth it? 

                                                                         Yeah.

                                                                            It was.

When I saw the formatting I knew I was in for something good. God, I wish I could be a nihilist, but I guess that is where I go wrong.
