Fake Flowers

are cheap for a reason

'Arrange your AI poems

Like store bought flowers in a vase

Even a hypochondriac rolls their eyes

Your paper-cut pain so vague

Roses, chamomile and baking bread

Handed out with a curated smile

All the lavender oil in the world

And I smell that bitter from a mile

Inspirational memes and quotes

Like a shallow f-ing puddle

Colonized and weaponized

All your “art” is muddled

Tread the surface of the water

Make sure you still fit in

Sing a song about the sunshine

Such unremarkable sin

Call yourself an author

It’s all just stolen valor

Where are your true colors?

We can all see your pallor

From the beginning of time

We’ve seen ourselves in the drink

It’s about chasing your reflection

And not caring if you sink

I have watched the drowning

Tear themselves wide open

Desperate to save those

Everyone gave up hope on

If you want to be a work of art

You’ll have to carve yourself up

If you want to be the color read

You must bathe yourself in blood
