I cannot stand
the fake laughter
of the polite.
Laughter isn’t meant
to be faked.
I cannot stand
the fake sympathy’s
of the polite.
I know you don’t really care.
I cannot stand
the Jaywalker
who jaywalks
20 feet
next
to a
crosswalk
I don’t know why this one irks me so
but it does,
and oh does it.
I cannot stand
the liars,
who lie,
so they can seem
polite,
You just want to feel good about yourself.
I cannot stand
The needy person.
Leave me alone.
I am not your puppet,
for your amusement.
Get your own damn water.
I cannot stand
the fearful people,
afraid of everything-
afraid to live.
I cannot stand
the zombie.
The ones who never take a stance;
never choses a side-
never believes in anything-
never tries to change the world-
never speaks up-
they hardly exist…
They live
only to not offend
the delicate ego’s
of polite.
-C.H.
