TOO BORED TO BOTHER

you will perceive a certain resentment

in many of my words


why not?

I went into the fire for you


and you're busy fussing

with bogus philosophies


that pretend your soul doesn't matter

except as a doll won at a shooting gallery


and that 'obedience' is your salvation

and that you needn't do anything


but just be in order to be forgiven


you will hear me and not understand the tug

on the sleeve and its warning


I sweat this all for you and you were off watching the fireworks
