Bollocks

A load of bollocks
is the city hall,
a ton of bollocks
the independence obelisk, a land of bollocks Myanmar,

a village of bollocks, ours.

Our village is gone because it’s trivia.
really is

everyone blaming everyone.
I want an exclusive right to lash my tongue at you.

That’s why I came up with this video.
Even in a delirium
don’t you dare point your finger at me.
Why should I namecheck those ma-aye-lame-ducks
in my art?
Their very presence turns my stomach.
Bollocks earth
won’t swallow ‘em.
Bollocks retribution
won’t smack ‘em.
Bollocks gods
won’t whack ‚em.
Bollocks witches
won’t attack ‘em.
Look,
how bloody trivial —
trivial bollocks they are!
