I don't make undue apologies

the nerve of people these days

"I demand an apology"

why?

who the fuck are you?

you interfere with the lives of other

impose your tyranny as if

God gave you some divine right

to kill on His behalf

and you have the gall to insist to demand

an apology when your own

murderous vanity is called out?

you are mentally ill

you are caught in some violent delusion

that makes you think

you are unique

don't buy into that guff

you are one of too damn many

and there is no difference

between any of you except the degree

of your illusion

and your distinct dedication to that infernal belief

(and wouldn't it be like you to claim

that distinction as some mark of individuation?)

so don't come near me

if you want your ego petted

it's not forgiveness you need

but the hardness of your own consequences

sadly for us all

that self-hardness is the judgment

when you've learned that

you'll have learned

not to ask

for what is not yours...
