The Proverbial Kool-Aid
ya drank the kool-aid, didn’t you?
thought nobody was looking
thought that there was something that you were missing
thought that you’d take just an itty bitty sip
thought that when you did, you could just get up & walk away
thought that your friends, family & neighbors might not
think you’d be the type
wanted to be in the loop
wanted to know what the big hype was all about
wanted to have more than what you see
wanted to know more than what you know
wanted to experience all those experiences that you read, hear & see on tv
wanted to try everything & anything (cause’ you only live so long, after all)
wanted to be an adult in a room full of children
wanted to get everybody off your back, so you thought you’d step out & through the door marked
SAP---
such simple temptations are for simple brains
simple brains seeking a way out of everything &
such ways out of everything don’t ****ing exist,
but it takes an idiot to find out they’re an idiot by sticking their hand in the cookie jar
to find out a rat got there first
to get bit by the rat &
go running to
mommy &
mommy’s teets are your churches,
your temples & your mosques
& mommy’s teets is your uncle sam
& mommy’s teets cost for a suckle,
mommy’s teets cost for a squeeze &
mommy’s teets are there as long as you’re ok with
your very own enslavement…
so drink up.
