poverty

the heartless head strikes like a match on every surface
until the fire reaches into bone
nothing is true anymore
nothing was ever true
the banking system is corrupt
the enemies of poetry are poets
feminism is censorship
obama is a scam
the iphone is cool
but it will not save the world
she was never mine, except in flesh
she will never return
let the whole world burn
