Today

Today, I'm just disgusted.
I am not depressed, folks.
Just fed up with it all
the bickering, the finger pointing.
and no one looking hard
at the mirror over there
that reflects all our mistakes,
with such brutal honesty.

Today, I'm just tired,
worn out from the efforts
that were made to rejoin
a society that cast me out
and acts like it's all
my own damned stupid fault
that things never worked out
instead of both sides.

Today, I'm on strike
not doing much at all,
save playing a few games
working out this strange poem
and trying to figure out
what you all really want.
Supermodels or a hard worker
when hiring folks now.

Today, leave me alone,
let me work my way
crooked as it may be
through this irritation and contrempt
for the rest of you
and find my soul again
where ever you tossed it
when ripping it out.

In other words, folks.
... piss off until Moaner's Day,
please.
