Why all the hate?
Where does it come from? Just look at the kid. Take a long glare You couldn't even give him another He doesn't deserve all this He doesn't He doesn't He's just sad, he cried So sad. So sullen. So angry at people, especially you A combo of sophistication, desires, sudden deaths What else can you do? People put their selfish, grotesque arms up and say: Stop, go Get lost, get over this. You continue to torture him You go on and burn him, slash him, scratch him Look at his arms, A slice, a dice, the permanence it's achieved It's all your deeds, your deeds your doings Why hurt him? Made him a masochist Full of thirst for your uncompromising judgments He screams, he shrieks Never submitting but yearned for the pain You stuff him pills, shoving him handfuls When does it end. Suspended forever? Diminished Never Those things. They sink down, down so low They come up, up to grab your head and shake it hard The world flattens, you flail Those things. They never disappoint. Miraculous. Shut up. Shut up. Shut the fuck up Stop the mourning Mourn for all your got? All you own? All you need? Realize, "Please, please" the boy begged Gather that he does good, kept you from drowning The kid wants you to want Want to be sheltered He wants to ascend. Let him Leave you behind. Let him Hush he'll say: You are his now. |
