Hello, Goodbye
Hello world
I’d like you to go away now
You’re a little too bright
And not enough wonderful
Give me a second
To adjust to the blinding
Hazard signs
Flashing in corners of
Unmarked alleys
Where shadows dance
Hand in hand
With Greed
Let me adjust to the
Gloomy speckles of
Fading starlight
As forgotten souls
Burn out - out of
View from the rest of
The Universe
Give me a minute
To wrap my newborn mind
Around the fact
That you use children
For pleasure
Let me learn that
Abusers deserve compassion
More than a family deserves food
Goodbye world
I forgot that you cared more about
Money’s birth than mine
He got a better welcome
And a throne to crawl into
