I'm Not Listening
I hear you speak to me
I can hear the decibels rise
The waves reach my ears
Yet your words hold no meaning
To me.
They are hollow
As lifeless as a doll,
With painted sincerity
And black hollow eyes.
You want me to believe you are a normal person,
That you have simple dreams
Simple goals
And simple wishes.
You expect me to believe
You’re a god fearing individual.
Yet I know the truth.
For if you can live in splendor
With a multi-million dollar home
And riches beyond imagination
All built from your mountain of lies.
All this while saints live squalor
Their houses of mud
And disease pulsing through their blood
Their stomach devoid of all nutrition
While yours is large and full of other people’s work.
You are not worthy of my attention.
You are not worthy of the air you breath.
You are not worthy of the life you have been given.
And I know the truth.
For if you can talk my ear off with hollow words through white teeth
While the bum on the street
With a stab wound in the ribs
Dies slowly with no words to speak
I know that there is no god.
And I say to you,
Go straight to hell.
I am not listening to you.
