Another Day, Another Bite of the Sh*t Sandwich

You can’t support a family on a single income anymore.

The dollar is worth less than ever as politicians

have gutted the world economy. 

Pedophile politicians whom our parents now tell us deserve honor. 

Our parents told us to tell the truth and follow our dreams. 

But now when we tell the truth about genocide, and now that

we’ve followed our dreams to their bitter end,

we’re told to hush, and we see the dreams were never, ever guaranteed.

I wish someone would have told me that — how to be more practical. 

There was never any angry man in the sky looking out for me

or guaranteeing I would prosper, or waiting to punish me

in spite of the saccharine “guarantees” and

blockhead threats they gave at church.

Hollywood, too. Teachers too. They all fueled this fire —

this ridiculous fairy tale about the world being “fair”

and each one of us being so special, with a basic guarantee of success

if only we work hard enough and pray hard enough.

Ironically, compared to their disgusting anti-society

the natural world actually IS pretty good and fair —

or, at least, logical, more or less.

They’ve just piled their cult disease on top of it and

now I’m left to apologize and suffer

for their willing refusal to call

murder, murder

and stealing, theft.

Now we’ve got nothing

and our parents blame a 

“generation gap”

instead of facing the cold, hard truth.

Another day, another bite of the giant shit sandwich. 

But I’ll still smile, and hopefully crack a joke or two.
