Disappointment keeps me up at night
These bags under my eyes are packed with grief
We deserve it.
When you figure out
it’s never been you
and it’s always been
WE
Maybe then
you, too, will feel this gravity.
We gambled with new information
and laughed at studied skill.
We only put trust in convenience,
blind to the blood we spill.
A new kind of non-conformist,
paving the way with lies.
An only-me attitude,
Regardless of who cries.
is there anyone else out
there struggling to keep
their thoughts of humanity
out of the hellish frame
that it’s being poured into
by force feeding yourself
videos of humanity
not sucking?
They stand so tall
Unwilling to look ahead
Unwilling to plan for a fall
.
Ignorance runs like tap
They take what they want
Consequence falls to the children’s lap
.
They rely on bias lie
Curse the efforts
Then pray to the sky
.
Tradition is a tool
An excuse to continue, not learn
A blind for the fool
To the children that exist now,
And will be my babies someday,
Momma is here, and she’ll hold you when she can.
Your life will find peace, just hold on.
Our time together is coming.
Why is it
That you can be
Secure in the arms of many
But that’s not enough
To soothe the sting
Of being wronged
By one
Hypocrisy and ignorance
Fire and gasoline
If you’re not fictional, and listening: I understand the flood.
To make the message a little lighter, I will be writing this to Jeff Foxworthy’s comedy tune:
If you suggest to someone that they are being punished for lack of faith in any religion or to any diety– you might be a stunted human.
If you suggest to someone that their disease, illness, syndrome, condition, or disorder could be cured with better obedience, more faith, or more prayer to any religion or diety– you might be a stunted human.
If you think others around you are troubled, stupid, or wrong for having different beliefs than you– you might be a stunted human.
If you hold strong beliefs that affect the way you treat others, with no factual evidence or truth to back those beliefs– you might be a stunted human.
If you automatically dismiss new information because it doesn’t align with your current understanding– you might be a stunted human.
If you find the need to convert others to your beliefs, without any understanding or intention to learn about anyone else’s– you might be a stunted human.
The author’s definition of what a stunted human would be: One who hasn’t yet, or refuses to, seek knowledge. One who is intellectually inflexible. One who lives in a state of “rightness.”
