When The Smell Of It Hits The Fan



What difference does it these days make,
When the smell of reality hits the fan.
And the boldness of it being done.
Exposing the culprits openly.
Caring less who knows their stench to throw,
Destroying the climate and atmosphere...
Where everyone breathes,
If walking, talking, sits or sleeps...
OR covering their faces to do while standing.
What difference does it these days make?

People will continue to celebrate holidays.
Anniversaries and birthdays.
Shopping at the mall,
Seeking something to purchase...
To address impressions upon others made.
With an arguing to create conflict,
Just to have it their way.
Since there is nothing more to prioritize,
Than the furthering to make petty...
Lives they live entitled to feel,
Thoughtless, self centered and thankless!
Done with a spreading of their ungratefulness,
As if obligated to prove it a duty...
Fools are easily taught to destroy themselves.
