The Patient Library (Whiskey By Shoestring Dialogue)

My response has always been the same to these people,"...All these books I've yet to read..." It could just as well be, "All these books I've yet to write", but those types of claims lend themselves to an arrogance that almost always garners a rolled-eyes response with a sarcastic tone of encouragement. The trouble is the instructors.

The fat mother fuckers always telling you to put more vegetables in your diet. The evangelic assholes groaning on about some Jesus to find as if I'm the one that's lost. "Seek and ye shall find" seems to escape the creed of condemnation. "Test the Spirits" takes a belt-less back seat as well when the blind in faith are off leading the blind in heart. Soda pop, pizza, and Christ are supposedly way more satisfying than marijuana, chocolate bars, and Heller. Without lecturing, mostly due to its hypocritical roots, no thank you. The so-called enlightened can stick to the big black thick of begets and condemnation. Quality Proverbial literature aside, it's still just the one book. Point fingers elsewhere while smiling critically and acting enlightened. I'll sit questioning my rotting teeth while the shelf lay dusty with all of these books I've yet to read.

Let's not assume this self defense to be one sided. Anecdotal maybe, but not limited to one group of snotty lecturers. The libs can run away too with their horse shit fliers about the corporate misuses of horse shit. It's always the same, "This is a cause you should get behind" or "How can you turn your back on little Johnny here". Well, my response is nearly the same. Please realize that you attack me daily, and remember my grizzled face. I've got no time to save the world when there are books I've yet to read.

Faces in these crowds so cute

stealing my all of my time and senses

wasting ears while wishing mute

What makes your cause relentless?

Claims Fanning flames of false ambiguity

peaceful protests should not have judgement eyes

your volume suggests an acute fortuity

My shoes wear unfairly from wading these lies

Please shout to an idiot's ears

find hungrier mouths to feed

give me back those wasted years

These books I've yet to read.
