Elegy on Exceptionalism
Posted: April 22, 2023 | Author: Heath Muchena | Filed under: Character Sayings, Writings by one ambidextrous... | Leave a commentIf you do what you’re meant to
and you do it well…
there’s no way in hell
you won’t be able to get
what most fail to
since you’ll be indispensable
in the value chain.
In this life, it’s plainly reflected
no need for one to tell…
that the hood or the block is the chain
that the food or the pork has poisoned the brain
plainly one can see
who wears the chains
of contemporary urban peasantry
it’s so easy to tell…
for they never do what they are meant to
only what they are told to
no wonder they never do anything well enough too!
Never get what they want
only what they are allowed to
or what they are given
oh, well…
novocaine
procaine
they are one and the same
expendables
common
civilised.
