Tomorrow’s leftovers

Already rotting in the fridge

Dead dove - do not eat

We go to the moon

We drag our knuckles

What felt like progress

Must have been an illusion

Putin in Ukraine

Netanyahu in Gaza

Trump says hold my beer

Can’t even predict the past now

Fragile monsters need protection

From their conscience

Truth and lies and AIs

In a love triangle

Another thing led to one

And look who got custody

Of the kids in the divorce

They fuck it all up for us

Then hide from the consequences

I’ll tell you about their plan

Quiet piggy
