Have a little respect,
for the blood,
for the struggle,
for the next.
Falling down into
the place that we all
intersect.
Have a little humility.
It’s the least you can do.
So many came
and left before you
showed up with all your
simplicity.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Is this what passes for wit?
This is how we should exist?
I don’t think I’m built for this,
world where no one gives a shit.
So, this is it.
Have a little mercy
on me,
on everyone.
There’s more than what you see
going on.
You’re not immune to
conversion.
Change your way,
change your mind,
one revelation at a time.
Shut your mouth,
drink it in,
through your eyes
and through your skin.
Just be
a good person.
Do what you’re supposed
to do.
Finding out
what that is
isn’t easy.
The whole world’s
hanging on you.
Have a little respect
for yourself
and the whole world
follows.
