• people say what they want,
    they pay no heed to the consequences,
    simply putting a voice to their thoughts,
    never mind if they're offensive,
    words that are harsh and hurtful,
    thoughts that would make a monks head spin,
    insulting in ways that are so personal,
    all so they can feel like they are the ones that win,
    and all to what purpose,
    when does it end,
    its all just so useless,
    these people who love to rant,
    to make themselves feel big,
    while putting others down,
    they are the ones who are pigs,
    making themselves look like clowns,
    it all just gets under my skin,
    despite my best efforts to ignore it,
    it feels like i can never win,
    my best bet is just to forfeit,
    this game we call life,
    has become so meaningless,
    full of such strife,
    so many inane frustrations.
