THE HIVE
"We did not ask if he had seen any monsters because monsters have ceased to be news."
Muted by a P.C. world,
Pronouns are terrifying.
Which bathroom?
Are you...(insert ethnicity here)...
but don’t ask, just smile.
Did people go to the moon?
I need to rest my brain awhile.
T.J. bought a gun, and Janie
had a gun, I’m American...
Do I have a right to not bear arms?
Bare arms.
Track marks or stretch marks?
Twinkies or Fentanyl? Bodily harm.
I am neither nutritionist nor Narc...
Fake news, real news, propaganda,
Gaslighting, boundaries, narcissism,
Trauma bonds, endless “Toxic” stuff...
Fake lashes, “Real talk”, inner child,
Vaccines save...don’t save lives...
Invited to a dinner party? Just shut up.
This hornets nest is life; I’m about to poke a hive.
