The Lessening

a subtraction of realings

By Brenton FPublished about a year ago 1 min read

A typical day in Hell

and now you have the nerve to say

that i'm the cause of the civil unrest

at least i was fuckin nice about it

at least i thought fuckin twice about it

and now you say i'm a vexatious pest

a handy nom de pleur you got

to conveniently lump me in

with all the rest

of those degenerate freeloading

mooching scumbag bums

parasitic hypocrites the lot

laminate some more plastic

you grade two government spastic

yet still you say

it was all me

it’s all hearsay which i

strenuously refute and

vehemently deny

your super secret info source

was a rival (pah)

c’mon we’ll say it once

out aloud

dumb cunt!

and now just in case you screw it

cause i know it’s you that will do it

just in case you manage to fuck it all up

more of a chaff place than a safe space

head on into the dark

venture a little further

the less we know the less we give

the less we show the less we live

the less we live the less we feel

the less we feel we lessen our real

this lessening

this loss
