the year of sweatpants

this is the future
the end

the future was the children
but we end them
because school
is so important
when half of them can't read

food and water 
become scarce
humanity dies

for the economy
for airlines

so much confusion
or so they pretend

these lies by omission
kill us all


there won't be anyone
left to cremate anyone
there won't be expensive coffins
or funerals with finger sandwiches
in the basement of churches

just grief 
and death

hello 2022
​hello chaos

don't forget to get
your booster
that your kids aren't eligible for

because watching your kids
die is on your bucket list
if you are a cold hearted psychopath

think of the economy 
those cruise ship stocks
the airlines are suffering
while you bury
everyone you have ever loved

remember
that the news will
only report that 
this was the year of sweatpants
