People Suck

-People Suck-
by Keaton Foster


Hey you
There
Acting
So queer
Come here
Closer
I must speak
You must hear
That smile
On your face
I’ll erase
That feeling
In your heart
I’ll displace
I have something
A secret for you
I’ll speak it
Thus relieving it
What comes
After that
It’s all you
Put your ear
So very near
Here it comes
Wisdom done
People suck
Not just a few
All
You and me
Every damn one
Under any sun
In every way
Both possible
And implausible
What they do
And why
All of it
Total horseshit
Their very existence
Marginal at best
Why they are here
On this earth
Makes no sense
They should die
Straight up be killed
Wiped out by themselves
Or an incurable disease
An end will always
Justify the means
People suck
Did you hear me
Do you understand
Was I quite clear
Now you, there
Take what I’ve said
And lament
Turn it to cement
Concrete is the idea
Filling your head
Stuffing your gut
Become fat
Obese via the concept
Let it slowly kill you
But before you die
Find another asshole
One with a smile
One with hope
Just as you once had
And pass it on
Such a fact
Must continue to live
While all things else
Cease
People suck
For me
Since hearing
Such a secret
From another man
All doom and gloom
Never have I met
One that I’ve liked
I’ve hated them all
Don’t take it personally
Think of it more
In the guise of
Retrospectively
What was created
Was a mistake
And since said mistake
Things
Have only gotten worse
Picture them all
All that you’ve known
All that you’ve seen
Each that have lived
And all that have died
And once you do
I know that you
Newly minted
Keeper of secrets
Will without question
Indeed see
For yourself
That people suck…
