Sad Music
There isn’t sad enough music for modern times.
We need a new pop sensation, one who’s
More inclined to stay home.
Clubbing and raving and fucking?
Oh my,
Not a lot of young people I know
Can afford to roam,
Fuck, love, risk, reward
None of it. Not unless
You prioritize, I guess.
Is that what I do?
Prioritize?
Or am I just lucky,
I found someone who does more than just
Empathize.
I know that I am lucky,
It’s obvious. I am carrying pain
I should let go of, but the news
Jesus Christ the news
And the traffic
And the weather
And the food
And the debts
And the payments
And overwhelming aching in my brain that knows that the earth is dying and that we’re all completely fucking
Doomed.
