I’m tired of adulting, it’s not working out for me
I hate this ugly alt-right, Brexiteer reality
I’ve developed coulrophobia with all the clowns around
Everyone’s a chatbot since the humans all left town
I’ll never climb a glass cliff, and I’ll never know how
hygge feels
In a post-truth, reactionary world, only hate is real
They hate the Latinx, Middle Easterners, Asians and Blacks
Once you’re woke to the truth, you can never look back
I’ve never found hope to be in great supply
But these days it takes all I have to stop myself
From giving in to my urge to abide
By the old acronym
By the old acronym
Fuck
Everything
And
Run
Cie
Far from hopeful for the future
There are more than 70 words in my poem
Kill the link if it, or the swearing, is a problem
