Lying on my bed
the sunlight streaming in
      I am swimming

                 Whirling
             Swirling
       Twirling
Lies

     Words
on the verge
of a breakdown
     Drown

Kill the little dears
        with broken hearts
big brains and,
No Fear

      With their
youth and invincibility
drugs and convincibility
big doe eyes
        Closed

Pretty words
   are confetti
shock factors
           Rule

The academia gods
with their cheese
with their whine
with their latté words
It disguises the nerds
who now pass for cool

Worshiped,
by school girls
with heroine eyes
match-stick thighs
and shoes that cut
like razor blades
spouting soothing words
about how they can’t get off
and why the world is doomed

by gel haired boys
tailored to perfection
unromantic romanticists
who drink coffee
and lap up indignation
and swear they’re not gay!
                   ….just curious

Check for mistakes
or just keep taking
the deficiencies, as
                        Art

The education system
    resisting
      change
    assisting
   the quiet,
revolution?

Pretty words
in verse
and prose
Die little dears
word overload

The dam has broken
washing over you
falling over you
crashing over you
pushing you down
submerged
subverted
perverted
Accept
the rejected

Lying on my bed
         now all dry
      with my book
           at my side

Poetry
            Lies
... another uni assignment - written about - well - uni life in general really...
