Asking for a Friend

 


Are you ok with it all,

The at each other's throat

Super highway of bile,

The constant vitriol,

From anger mismanagement central

Brains rotting, Inflamed by hate,

Vomiting ignorance and anger,

Frothing like some rabid badger

Because of rainbows,

Because of love,

Because true self expression is scary, 

So kill it with fire, right?

Easier than engaging and asking questions,

Easier than accepting or at least tolerating

that which you can't understand.

Easier than learning.

And so you are easy marks

For a classic grift and con.

Are you ok, With it all,

The picking of your pockets,

I mean, are you ok with your

attachment to hate.

Is love dead?

Asking for a friend.
