Toxicant

Sing even if you can’t breathe
And dream especially when you can’t see.

Venom at the back of my throat,
I’ll refrain, though.
And you shall wait as well,
For people like us don’t stop.

Hug the enemy.
Befriend a sinner.

Blue eyes don’t go with brown
And wisdom can’t trump pride.
People like us don’t stop,
And this you will see,
In time.

Work to be damned to Hell,
Rather than trust-fall into Heaven
Because people like us
Don’t stop.

I haven’t the time to waste my ambitions
On last minute wishes
And I haven’t the hopes to prostitute on your needs.

Sufficiency is irrelevant,
And that you are,
To me.
