too many humans

too many humans

A Poem by Jay Bailey
"

dont trust humans

"
staring, s**t head faces make strange bed fellows
pull one leg out, it al comes tumbling down
your teeth will rot out of your head
no matter how much you scrub them
only an insane person can delay the inevitable
with such vigor
your rationalizations do not convince me
your cheap attempts, your passive aggressive little kid s**t
will not be acknowledged
speak the high speech or f**k off to la-la land
ceremonies are superficial
holidays are useless
somewhere somebody made millions off your idiocy
large gatherings of people are to be avoided at all costs
double dose on every medication
because the bigger they are, the harder they sedate
drink only alcohol that is sweet and doesn't taste like alcohol
get real drunk and feel ashamed
infrequent showers are a must
any acts of self love or self preservation is foolish
escapism is a lifestyle
weigh in on heavy topics and cut right to the core
speak the truth to smash their smug bullshit
stick your finger in the dip
the boy needs practice fighting germs in order to be any good
you are not your brothers keeper
you are alone in a crowd
all enlisted will be assigned a copy of their own true love
that they will never see again
kiss her lips and what you feel is "ok"
but anything else is so much better
these are the truths you whisper out loud at night
afraid of your own goddamn shadow

A good exposée on the human disease. Equal parts hating to yourself to hating everyone else. Deep brah.
