Stuck between a rock and a paycheck. I stir this rusty pot of discount energy. It's never enough to fortify. So I supplement the meal with an extra helping of oxygen. I had a life once. Wife, children, shiny car, Golden Retriever. I had a dream! Monetary and ethical goals. I used to have blue toilet water. Now I pee on the sidewalk. I used to have an anti-lock breaking system. Now I break myself for a lift on public transit. What happened to me you ask? I spoke out. I made my voice heard. I farted on his easy chair. I looked at her. I made a deal with the devil. I burned in. I slept out. I stepped on faces. I slapped toes. I read Karl Marx and joined the communist party. I became a passive militant. I bought a Will Smith record. I toured with Def Leopard. I started to feel angry, Foolish, Arrogant, Rotten to the core. I stopped resting Stopped eating Stopped *******, loving and caring. I spit on a CIA agent. I woke up in hell. I fell asleep at the wheel. I ignored the warning label. I bought malt liquor for ten-year-old girl scouts. Basically I left myself out for too long and I spoiled. And now.............. Now I point rifles at the neighbors for fun and eat fried cockroaches as I wait for my freedom . mul·ti·plic·i·ty noun |
