f*ckin dandelion fluff

there was a time
when I blew on
dandelion fluff
making wishes
that would never 
come true

hope was enough
to sustain
my ignorance 
my innocence

and it was pretty
and I was a child
in some fucking meadow
where birds were singing
like a disney movie

it is grimm now
like those fairy tales where
if you wore slutty red shoes
and liked to dance
you danced yourself to death

my patience is wearing thin
on this bullshit world
and all the cloudy confusing
lies that aren't even as good
as opium
lies that smell like shit
on the hottest day
and are written 
by journalists that flock
to whoever feeds them

we are all starving
for truth 
I keep imagining
those scrawny baby birds
sitting in a nest
with their tender beaks open
for worms
 blind baby birds
just waiting and
tweet tweeting away

as the world dies

this propaganda shit
isn't like growing a victory garden
it isn't rosie the riviter 
making a muscle

it is men in suits
scrambling to cover a lie
so take your medicine
the latest fashion in bioweapons
now that it is leaked
we all have to take it
or we all will die

don't bother praying
this is man made
humanity is the source
​and humanity will pay
