someone a whole lot wiser than i am
(than me!)
once said
a long time
ago
(i can't be exact but it was a while back)
the best revenge
is living well
but then
he didn't know
that
everything wants
to kill us now
natural or man made
we have been marked for termination
the paving of the future
is now being laid
nanoparticles in injections
cancer in your soup
rabid wild fucking animals
bird flu could visit your coop
you can now get sick from typing mistakes
and thinking ill of your neighbours
lumps limps gumps simps
we’re all fucked
it’s catching
i’m scratching
it’s so easy to be dead
to embrace that final void
but really double fuck that for a joke
grit your teeth and stay annoyed
it’s easy to just lay there
under six feet of fucking dirt
get out here like the rest of us
and embrace all the fucking hurt
well hoody fuckin dowdy
(look folks; a rare organic spoonerism just grazing)
and aint that just peachy and swell
there's no taking
without giving
the best revenge
aint living well
the best revenge
is just living
