How is the bar so low

That we accept these excuses

And praise human behaviour

As though to speak is an achievement

To listen is the goal?



I’m sorry I will not praise him

For not being selfish,

For not taking advantage of you,

For remembering.




You’ll get my praise when you do more.

When you treasure her

When she becomes the sun

So bright because of you

So strong because of you

So radiant from you.




So I won’t say well done

For being a human being,

For being just above an extremely low bar

You appall me

You abhor me

You agitate me




So for that, I guess you can have an A+
