There is a sin
coming up second
to rape
and sitting right above
murder
and it’s the cardinal sin
of being boring.
There is no shortage
of boring damned people,
an extreme surplus of them.
They have been ruining
the world
and collapsing civilizations
since their have been civilizations
worth collapsing.
Interesting men
have always gone to war
to run their bayonets through
other interesting men
because of the needs of
boring men to feel
adequate
to grab at other
sources of power due to
their lack of being something on
their own.
Boring men
destroy interesting women
so a man with more
doesn’t steal them away
and leave him with
his dick in his his hand
and boring women
erode interesting men
from the inside
because when they
fell
In love with him for his
ways
They didn’t expect it
to be so hard to
outshine him
so they decide he
is an oppressor
and start to sharpen the
guillotine slat.
Boring people wage
terrorism
on the others of us
every day with their woes
and their boring cancerous
conversation and it chews
at the rest of our contentment
with living.
We see their rules
and their governments
and their sycophantic societies
and we decide we’d rather
be somewhere else
because if they are right
it’s too much to bear
being wrong.
So we grab
interesting tools
built by interesting
gunsmiths
and we cross the
crevasse
of fear and unknowing
and make an interesting scene
for someone else
to find
and wonder:
’How could someone do
something like that?
What a coward.
Was he sick?
Look at these scribblings
on every surface
and all those books!
He must have been sick!
Yes. He surely was.
My goodness.
Goodness me.
Anyway,
I have to get this over with.
The game is on at 7.
We (they) are playing the
(Whatever’s).’
cardinal sin numero dos.
