someone a whole lot wiser than i am

(than me!)

once said

a long time

ago

(i can't be exact but it was a while back)

the best revenge

is living well

but then

he didn't know

that

everything wants

to kill us now

natural or man made

we have been marked for termination

the paving of the future

is now being laid

nanoparticles in injections

cancer in your soup

rabid wild fucking animals

bird flu could visit your coop

you can now get sick from typing mistakes

and thinking ill of your neighbours

lumps limps gumps simps

we’re all fucked

it’s catching

i’m scratching

it’s so easy to be dead

to embrace that final void

but really double fuck that for a joke

grit your teeth and stay annoyed

it’s easy to just lay there

under six feet of fucking dirt

get out here like the rest of us

and embrace all the fucking hurt

well hoody fuckin dowdy

(look folks; a rare organic spoonerism just grazing)

and aint that just peachy and swell

there's no taking

without giving

the best revenge

aint living well

the best revenge

is just living
