Poetry
This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

Cool let’s write something
I’m barely conscious and on the bus why not
Speaking of buses
Ever been thrown by one?
Apparently the cane isn’t a big enough indicator that I need to sit before the bus fires off from the stop
No I don’t think even wearing a huge sign saying
Severely Disabled
Would even make these people think twice
When you’re disabled the bus suddenly becomes this huge anxiety
Will they kneel the bus for me?
Will I get a seat?
People seldom move from disabled seating unless it’s a wheelchair, walker, or stroller/pram/buggy whatever
My entire method of transportation has become this daily battle
It’s just exhausting leaving the house
Never knowing what I’ll face
And the added Jesus Christian thing
God I’m so sick of them forcing their religion on to me
Painfully unselfaware they are
Today I was told Jesus has big plans for my life
Sir the fact that you’re telling me that tells me you’re not speaking to any Jesus in that head of yours
He asked if I know god
I know I don’t want to know your god
I wish your god had stayed shut up and never cursed this planet with your religion
Just atrocities carried out over millennia
Just wish they’d all cease to exist
And I have to be in their space because I have to take the bus
Ah but think how many fewer poems I’d write
Yeah exactly Sara Bareilles, I’m not going to write a love song about these things.
A+ for the constantly contextually on point music
Thanks Cosmic DJ.
I wish there was an alternative to the bus even if my poem output would suffer
I’d rather stay isolated indoors than be bombarded by Christianity everywhere
And I’d rather do anything than have to constantly worry bus drivers are going to care
Ah life

I think my issue with this writer’s strike
Is not just rich people wanting more money
It’s that people are on their side
When I complain about not making enough money
I’m told to “get a better job”.
Right?
It’s not that they don’t deserve fair pay
It’s that when I ask for bare minimum enough to live on
I’m sponging off the government
Shake shake shake and shut your mouth right?
It’s just hard to see the difference
Everyone deserves enough to live off of
And living shouldn’t just come down to shelter, food, electricity
Living includes enjoyment
Not mega yacht enjoyment
Not paying over half the population slave wages to become billionaires enjoyment
Are humans capable of evil because it’s in their nature?
Or because society breeds it?
Because civilization demands it?
I just wonder what great kindnesses could come from a society that rewards that instead
Money is just an incentive to be cruel
Just incentive to try to keep it away from everyone else
The have mores asking for more is just a symptom of the have it alls having way too fucking much
Inflation due to money being printed to try to offset the fact the billions of our global capital is sitting
But thank god they have money right? Bless those billionaires
Sick of getting by on scraps
People who actually need personal chefs can’t afford them and people who can fucking learn to cook for themselves have ten.
People who can’t afford to take care of their disabilities are choosing “compassionate suicide”, but giving us more money is out of the question
Sick, tired, and hungry all the time. All the time.

It’s like your personality is missing
Stand here, sell this, and make your mark
That kind of a push like silence for weeks and then suddenly
When you want our money
It’s taking part in this tired game kind of disgusting?
Don’t you want to run away to an inlet up North and just be?
You turn it on for the cameras and the stage
But who are you under it all?
I’d know by now that etchings on the wall only mean so much
Thoughts prettied up for publish
Is music even real anymore?
Is your music still real?
Your music that I’m perpetually paying for
Such a weird world we live in
I just wonder who I’m paying
I don’t know if it’s okay to love someone like you anymore
Something about the whole billionaires versus refugees thing really got me thinking.

Hey Eternal Flame
I hope you’re doing okay over there, burning
Forever, at least my forever
I’ll be your watcher
I wonder if this a role passed down from time before me
If another of my kin sat chatting to the sun all day
But it just seems like such a lonely living
Watching
I wonder if others spare the time of day
For the time of day?
Speaking of, it’s setting time
It’s awful that I have worse days to compare today’s heat to when today’s heat was still too high
But we both know, no matter how many
Damn you’re hots
I utter, that it’s not your fault
Not really
If it was your fault the outer atmosphere would be being destroyed
Yes, this call is coming from inside the house
Dear Sun
I hope there’s someone on the other side of the world for you to talk to
Though I suppose twelve hours in …
Dude I’m not doing the math to figure out how many hours the sun exists just use your mind palace and imagine it
Yeah that’s not long to wait I suppose
My patience and his patience must be vastly different things
So I suppose you can set and see me tomorrow for me, and in a few hours for you
Though I suppose “hours” would be relative to whatever you’re revolving around
Maybe it’s more like minutes
Space time is wild
Like time in space
Anyways goodbye and goodnight sir Sun I’ll see you tomorrow.

Are you alive?
Are you dead..
Do you know I love you will all my heart
And I will love you every day
Until with my last breath I join you in the fields
Supi and Tiga are there
My beautiful gems Spinel and Tiger’s Eye
I know it’s your time to join them Tanzy my beautiful Tanzanite
I know but it hurts and I wanted so much more time with you
It’s never enough time
My baby it was a pleasure to be your home
It was a pleasure to see you run the herd a little bit too roughly
My sweet baby
I will never forget you

He did it so nonchalantly
Like it was second nature
Just pulled a piece off of the pine tree and then shredded it
I could immediately smell the scent of pine that I have come to see as a sign of pain
Like when you cut grass and it screams in scent
But he just took a piece of her
And then destroyed it
And went about his day
Why are humans like this?
Why do they destroy so calmly?
Why are plants not considered alive?
I can already hear so many wrong people say
It’s just a tree
So many so wrong people
If you could exist without doing harm,
Would you?
Or would you keep those little habits that create harm?
I wish there was a way
And I am the only one I know who sees everything as alive
The spirits of everything all around they never see
Do you ever see?
I can’t be the only one, simply because it’s statistically unlikely
I wish I could show them the pain they cause
Yes, it’s me, ever the malevolent one
I wish more people understood
