i think i was sitting listening to someone trying to make themselves sound like they knew something, and was very disillusioned with what was happening around me


Habendum Referendum


"A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals"- Spiro T. Agnew

My aim is at the clock
Rationality left long ago.
Always uphold the ends, the back
Don't move too fast anymore.

Speeches to fall asleep to
You know it's going to hurt
Consequences abound
Risk feels way too good

What's the point when none is legible
And audibility is overtly voluntary.
Save yourself now
If you walk over I shall leave

Embark on a mutiny
To clear my stomach of peanuts,
And society for that matter.
Forget about it

No evidence of salt
-false advertisement
But embellishment is so popular these days
It works such a treat

Wake up fools!
What you wish for
(Wish earmuffs were mine)
Somehow makes its way to others.

No-one likes admitting they're wrong.

no-one likes admitting they're wrong...

amazing last line to leave us with.

i'm astounded by your artistry.. i mean, you're so wondrously enchanting as a poet...

i like the idea of this, many times we have to face people who think they stand for a cause or know something, but really, they're just frauds...
