points of knowing

you awaken into the unfairness
the basic
cruel ass way this rigged system operates
the blatant disregard
for how money is made
as long as you get it
the it's just business
uttered before your assassin fires into your head.

I am not cynical
about the  lake shore
I am not cynical
about sunsets
I am not cynical
about dogs and cats
I am not cynical
about love

I do not see any way to allow the world to continue
spiraling into suicide
breeding into overpopulation
losing our minds to doomsday cults
as we watch all we were born into die away
the names of the lost species have grown too unwieldy for my heart
I can no longer look at the oil slickened pelicans gasping their last
I have watched them for hours and hours on the oceanside
