Lists of complaints wrapped into the perfect metaphor everything wrong with the world around me similar microcosm of our universe Dear Shadowfiend when is my homework due? In the midst of spelling mistakes of supposed war messages what was wrong what to fix and hints as to the world of compromise Lists of lists of possible sins and lies lists of lists of complications and arguments over compromise hints in the midst of the riddles of metaphors to decipher of what is actually wrong i can't hear you the maggot in my ear isn't allowing me to reach out dirty nails of the clean church starting at the end working backwards Lists of complaints whats wrong with my life whats wrong with hers and his and yours complictaions to simplify all the problems addictions and perversions man's plan of the setting sun heal my shadows as you stalk the chaos and homework will be due by the dawn of armageddon thinking caps on how to hate and not to catch on dampening wildfires to make life fair one mixed message at a time different pages one imperfect man all screwed up Dear shadowfiend the lists of our complaints is our deck stacked against us thanks for the time to think slow it down blue print for the perfect mind and plan for the tricks up our sleeves Dear shadowfiend now that you did it I can do it better with less mess and more perfect thanks for the pulitzer

Ever heard of Ray Bradbury? This poem reminded me of his literature. Read it. Especially Fahrenheit 451, I think you might enjoy it.
