hello cruel world
i came to you complicit
by my genes, my sex
my birth not a neutral act
hello cruel world
i come to you in
Solidarity, I am your
Instrument of brutality
hello cruel world
i come to you complicit
by my guile, my connivance
my silence and my spirit
hello cruel world
i your noose and hangman
i your hangman’s knot
i come to you with blood
hello cruel world
on my hands the stains
of a life in your service
in service of my self
hello cruel world
cruel as you are
you must see it clear
you’ve taken your toll
hello cruel world
there comes a blunting
worn dull over time
i will fail you too
hello cruel world
i believe my race’s run
my trail of bodies
ends with my own
hello cruel world
i hang my head before you
you pull the switch on me
in torment i gladly die
