dinner for 2

so goddamn tired of the talk
of the speak
of playing
hide and seek

tired of big mouths
spitting,
talking shit
like they have something
found that
no one else has already discovered

everyone is great
until they're proven wrong
by somebody better

all these opinions that don't
make a damn difference
because we're all still
broke
and bothered
by the same lame ass shit
that we've been dealing with for years

no one is more important than anyone else
and if they try to tell you they are
they're making it up
for their own mental health

there are some that make it
and others that don't
some that're served with
silver spoons
in their puckered little mouths
and others that choke
on the leftovers
stepped over
for some other motherfucker
that's nothing more than a joke

we're all in the same boat,
choking through the same throat;
the have's and have not's
those who're humble
and those who gloat

it's all the same old motherfucking thing
spun in a different direction
and it all depends on who
wins the next rigged election
without direction,
we're a doomed nation
of nothings
and not-agains,
indistinguishable mutations
from all the shit we've been fed
