and
when
I
say
“the world,”
I mean the people
most of them
think because they’re under a steeple
that
they’re
free
from
judgment
it’s okay
for
them
to
judge
because they
took the sacrament – but not “the nudge”
when asked
to forgive they didn’t budge
they
knew
they
were
right
to be
impolite so long as it wasn’t done in plain sight
no need to
ask forgiveness if it felt so right
not
once
did
they
think
of
themselves
as
“uptight”
it doesn’t
really matter now if they took flight
or if they
took anything from anyone else who might
be
a
threat
to
their
way
of life
without
any
delight
so long as
nobody who saw what was real
calls them
on their shit as if it was a big deal
no
one
has
the right
to
judge them
even
if they steal
what was
meant for someone else, but still
it was
theirs to begin with (that’s how they feel)
fuck
the
ones
who
haven’t
enough
for
a meal
as long as
the righteously greedy get fed
so long as
they have a nice, cozy bed
fuck
everyone
else,
they
can all
drop
dead
