Bullshit

here's the thing

about the game.
it's all just a facade
a bunch of empty suits
shaking hands and smiling
while the rest of us
get trampled in the dust.
they want you to choose,
to take a side,
to wear a jersey,
and scream at the top
of your lungs.
but what's the point
when the whole damn thing
is just a charade?

i'll take a hard pass
on the whole damn circus.
i'll sit on the sidelines
with a beer in my hand
and watch the clowns
parade around
pretending to be
something they're not.

when the game is bullshit
you don't have to pick a team
