[Poen] I Refuse

 by Emmit Other

Between Covid

And terrorist landlord

And eye surgery

and a sick cat

I am drawing the line

Maybe our reality is purely banal 

And that is all there is

I wish

But if we are entertainment

For something that feeds on our suffering

Whether that be God

Or a devil

Or drama demons

Or hollywood hacks

I intend

To do everything in my power

To take no action

To make no choice

That they dont force me to make

Until I have some assurance

The little boy shaking the ant farm

Cuts it out

And is unlikely

To repeat it

I have reached my limit

And my limit is now

My limit is here

I am done
