The Fucking Idiot
June 4, 2023•180 words
A fucking idiot walks down the inevitable path of stupidity, never learning a fuck all thing. All the wisdom in the world he reads, not realising that it goes in one ear and comes out of his asshole like a silent fart.
He falls in love before he is loved and he goes to war before its declaration. Money he chases as he has none and he declares fatherhood without proof.
He aches for illusion and takes for granted what's real. Everywhere he sees enemies where there are none and where there are enemies he walks bare chested.
His promises are as valuable as pebbles and his word the echo of a moth.
Whether he exists or not matters not for he's hot air in stretched skin.
He loses what he never had and never finds what he already has.
He earns in toil and can never afford anything. They take all the belongings he does not have.
He claims freedom while shackled and innocence while covered in blood.
Honesty is his as he deceives and lies are his grace.
