Office Politics

by Lilith 09/22/68 - Not entered

I spoke my mind
Damn
Here I go again
You greet my thoughts with speechless fury
Istepped upon your status quo
a satisfying crunch

Roused from your burrow of lies
Prickled with irritation
You sputter justifications
Limp defenses
Excuses for your nothingness

Go on
Tell me
I'm not listening

The tower of lies that surround you is listing
Enveloped in the arms of my opinion
I take comfort in the sway
Rocking peacefully
Protected by self-realization

The tower's foundation is rotting
Built on supple spines sucked clean of strength
Your vapid girls
Wrapped in a curtain of communal thought
They wear their white hoods

You hurl your angry words at me
Like breadcrumbs they fall at my feet
My demons cackle
Amused by your gasping futility

You denounce me
Accuse me of a crime
Sedition
Tis no more than a medal
A painless symbol of who I am
Birth sign: Not entered
