Death by Compliments

 

Let's make one thing very clear

I will eat cheerfully today

whatever slop

you drop on my plate

with nary a complaint


I just no longer give a damn

about the concept of self pride

that in my contentious past

led to many a messy conflict


Live and let live

is my fresh concession mantra


My hero Eddie on the other hand

with his fake smile

and false cheer

is a slow leak

on our Good Ship Lollipop

that he will burst gradually

with his stealth negativity

until the weight of liberated truth

drowns us all eventually

as I silently cheer with my last breath

the death of social hypocrisy
