Hope Like Hell

One day,
We’ll have one more for the road
I hope like hell this finds you well
I miss you more than you know
Some day, this long ride
Will give way to better times
I hope like hell this finds you well
And I see you on the other side
I've got a mile long list to never take for granted
Since normal was summarily supplanted
Locked down and uprising in
The last 2 years have hit like 10
But I hope like hell this finds you well my friend
I’ve got a mile long list I wish I’d never seen
Metastasizing bigoted beliefs
An answer to a question no one asked
Dodging assholes bemoaning masks
I hope like hell this lockdown is the last
Someday we’ll close the door on this
Make up for all the times we’ve missed
With handshakes and bumped fists
Concert stamps on inner wrists
Til then I’ll push on and persist
Through every fucked up turn and twist
Push on and persist
Adding lines to those lists

10 TeraOhm

I am internally conflicted
Combusted, vindictive
A relic from the past with no remorse
10 tera ohm resistance
To progress, insistence
I’m the victim in every step forward
When I can’t have it all with a clear conscience
I am persecuted from every direction
Revisionist histrionics
Vignettes of imagined contentment
Insatiable, I consume
Comforting platitudes
Railing at imagined transgression
I self impose containment
Rampart disinformation
My ignorance was turned into a weapon
By appeals and gas lit tales
Of a time that never existed
My vanity is pandered to
The history I cling to is a fiction
Entrenched indignant and self righteous
At the notion that I benefit from privilege
Fragility projected
Evidence dismissed with prejudice
