So curious.
How much of this
is preordained
for us?
Nothing is obvious,
except the dreadful
ministrations behind the scenes.
Breaking from the natural order,
one might think
we see ourselves
greater than creation,
and it appears
we hold ourselves
in that very regard.
Looking out,
you and I
only see each other
and the stage
as it is set,
and not behind.
If we see
something wrong
with the set decoration,
we’re told
that we have problems
with our eyes.
If I
interpret the story
being told
a different way than you,
then you are told
to destroy me
for holding an abhorrent
point of view.
You wear your politics
like a second skin tone,
absolving you of all your sins,
but you’re as wrong
and faulted as the rest of us,
you’ve just found a way
to burrow in.
You try to hide yourself,
while feeding on a host;
that you deny exists.
You would change your colors
in a second,
if the social climate called for it.
You’re such a piece of shit.
Rat running to a maze,
digging your own grave;
a lie,
told in a costume,
on a stage.
So curious,
how much of this
is preordained?
