First love was a like
First kiss was gross and slimy
First time unwanted

Notes:

This poem is autobiographical to both Cie and Fetch's female protagonist, Pepper.

I don't want to spoil the stark nature of the piece by putting a long explanation here.

Apathy in the Face of the Unthinkable

 

Your apathy

and depravity

Will be the downfall

of humanity

 

Adam

 

 

Written after reading that people had watched a video of a three year old girl being molested by a pedophile, which was circulating on Facebook. Their response was not to be sickened, or saddened, but to joke about the trauma which this child had suffered.
