People. (Everybody dance now)

[Jerrybaldy]

People bloody people
Of which I am not one
People f ucking people
Silly tubes of food
With silly ideas
Baby Jesus
Allah and Mohammed
People bloody people
Of which I am not one
Earnest self aware
F ucking people
Flicking their hair
Lies in their eyes
People killing people
People with a gun
Of which I am not one
Men with base ball caps
Women with painted eye brows
People bloody people
Here's the church and here's the steeple
Sinners condemning sins
Saving the world with coloured bins
Fellating hallowed words
Shopping in Wallmart
Giving birth to do it all again
Snotty reproduction
Parents sh itty parents
Recreating people
To die and do it again
The bloody departed
The grieving masses
Of which
I am not one.

This is a GREAT poem.
Well done.

Good stuff. I agree with Kiz paws. Love the directness, the language, the message, everything really, especially the slightly delusional "Of which I am not one" refrain which adds a touch of cynical humour. (My favorite kind)
