They were futile & ugly

Their tongues hanging

Drooling like ridiculous freaks

Queuing in line, shivering & absorbing

Intentions were cleared & emotions silenced

Ass-licking sons of bitches

By the thousands

Clapping their hands

Screaming like villains

Concealing arrogance

I failed miserably

I had promised to keep my head clear

The more I heard the less I cared

The burst kept coming

Relentlessly

Face it baby

That’s the way it is

We had it in common

Charming as it was

Pouring black ink

On open wounds

The ones we all share & thrash out

Antagonizing

Fulminating

Blasting your way through the bursts

As I stared at them

Looking for remorse

I could only freak out

I look around

Galvanized

Attempting to conceal my hatred
