The Future... Never Came.
I was too nostalgic...
for the way
you called my name.
You were a workaholic,
and that was the only thing
that was true to your reality,
meanwhile I was martyring,
and I still am bleeding
on the box of Bethlehem...
to give the future children,
and the rest of this planet,
the lives we never had, yeah,
we should always be improvin'!
I'm tired of the rich
always gaslighting us, saying
we're too fuckin' "greedy"
for wanting to stop eating crumbs.
I'm not gonna pick myself...
up by the bootstraps, no,
I'll just throw these sneakers
in your face!
...
