You see them all around these days,
braying loud on the internet,
people claiming that they’re victims,
demanding you ‘recognize’ that.

past the bounty of pork rinds
past boundless skylines
stare blankly for way too long
then to the menu

Theology and History have too much theory
Too many opinions, guesses, fake story
Because we never experience it, only carry
Traces of what others write, say: cut down on story

Dry, grey and lifeless,

Where tears fall down a saddened face!
When all they think of, is little old me!
