Today I stare
Stare at all you who
Gaze at the sun . . .
You blind yourselves
To the corruption
That your peers and yourself
Commit.
You tell your offspring
That it doesn’t exist if you can’t see it;
We live in a sea of science
And hypothetical facts.
We swim in the
Formaldehyde,
Preserving all the perverse lies,
“Sexual experimentation,”
No . . . lies . . . “Rapist’s translation.”
Virgins are martyred
Because of their taboo
In our “advanced” world.
The children are monsters
Yet we have raised; created
These abominations.
We love our toxins;
Our addictions
More than we love one
Another.
Our smiles are made
In the attempt to keep
Intruders out and emotions
In like barbed wire.
Today I stare
Stare at all you who
Devour truths
Just to spit lies and denial.
I see your children,
I see how they turn out and wonder,
“Where did all
The good parents go?
Was there nothing left for us?
Or are there still a fortunate few?”
You don’t admit to your
Mistakes. . .1000 mistakes
That you cannot take back,
Just like that new bottle
Of pills you bought for
Your children.
Blame the doctor, blame the pills,
Blame the teachers, blame the friends,
Blame the music, blame the books,
blame the colors of the rainbow!
But don’t you even blame
Yourself.
Isn’t that how it works?
Today I stare, I stare
Today I stare at you. . .
Stare at those who gaze at
The sun. . .stare at those
Who devour the
Bitter truths and grow
Them into sweet poisons. . .
I stare at you. . .today.
But, tomorrow. . .
I’ll be staring at
The cells from which
There is no escape. . .
Tomorrow, I will
Look down, look down
On your graves. . .
Smile and say “Cheese”;
Your defeat is so
Picturesque.
