Fuck it

This world's a mess

An abhorrent pantomime society

only as civil as a knife to the throat

But fuck it

No one cares anymore

Those days of giving a shit

are long, long gone

The sadness in these words, abounds

yet is as nothing compared to the veracity

The denuded truth is ever worse than hoped

Such as it always is

Don't wait

for something else to happen

The result will only ever be

the sum of its parts

And its parts are paltry

insufficient, a fucking joke

Take solace in the knowledge

that it could never be anything but

a fucking mess

The sadness in these words, abounds

yet is as nothing compared to the veracity

The denuded truth is ever worse than hoped

Such as it always is

A series of failures

led to this state

yet there'll be no redress

no chance to get it right

So stop with the protest

and stop with the hope

this world cannot be fixed

such as it is

A series of disasters

continue to devastate

unchecked and unabated

appalling in their ambit

A virulent test for humanity

that was failed long, long ago

this world cannot be fixed

Such as it always is
