fork

somehow I will gain the courage needed
to stand in the way of those bigger
because they can’t keep tearing
the limbs and twigs out
from beneath me

It’s a cycle they made me enter
where defending my own interests
takes a backseat to fighting for
the general will
too bad the general will doesn’t know I’m fighting

I will drink that oil sludge
use it as a topping if necessary
for they can’t coat me with their agenda
no matter from what side it spills
there’ll be a fork ready at my end
ready to diverge them
I am that fork.
