Take a Shot

That’s what they want, isn’t it?

By Ecarg NosivePublished 3 months ago 1 min read

Take a shot

To celebrate the system that designed your tragic destiny

Take a shot

At that love that will probably leave you scattered in triggered memories

Take a shot

Of espresso for the energy drained of you by society

Take a shot

At selling your art, it’s basically your soul so they’ll profit off it anyways

Take a shot

Of turmeric for your digestive issues caused by the chemicals they feed

Take a shot

Of testosterone or estrogen so your country names you a terrorist

Take a shot

To cure an illness created to control the populate

Take a shot

At faith since patriarchal cults rule the world and you could be their sheep to play it safe

Take a shot

and another

and another

at

children..

because mental health isn’t taken seriously

and a guns right is more important than their screams

and it’s rather kill or rape them both with zero consequences

Take a shot at my head

But don’t miss like you did the president

Although that was a skit

all of it is

Take a shot

Take it

I beg of it
