I C U and I C Me.

By Ross e f Lombardi

.

.

Yes, I AM ugly.

There is no denying That!

.

But I see you.

I see who you vote for.

I see who you like.

I see your celebrity culture.

I see the music you get to number one.

I see your fashions.

I see your hit "reality" TV.

I see your collective, priorities, cares, values and concerns.

I see the political expediencies you accept.

I see immoral yet convenient choices you make.

I see the unethical self-licencing, the constant excuses and all the self-told lies.

I see the suffering you ignore.

The fellow human tears you wantingly drink.

The children's screams you block out.

The world you let die.

I see the guilt you do not feel.

I see the empathy you are incapable of.

.

I see you regarding kindness as a weakness, misuse of power as sexy, and ruthlessness as a strength.

.

I see how innately crap we all are = me included.

And I judge the human species as moot.

Your opinions are silly and invalid.

.

The difference between a random person and a random doggy I meet and pet.

Unlike the random person, I care if the dog likes me.

.

I am no better.

I am only a shitty human, just like you.

I am ugly,

I am an ugly human.

But I no longer care that I am so dammed ugly.

It seems silly for my looks to matter, anymore.

.

So, Yes, I AM clearly ugly.

There is no denying THAT.

I own it.

I own that fact.

I might be even uglier on the inside.

But I laugh At you all, in your general direction.

To me, you are all just a joke.

.

Why should anyone save you?!!

Why should anyone save any of us?!
