The Indignant Existence

Who dare tame the river 
Or bleed the ocean blue
Who dare conquer shiver
Or claim what is true 

Who dare drink the waters 
And say it’s not for me
Who dare my life they shutter
And say it is not free

Who dare partition the past 
And build on top a lie
Who let this happen so fast?
Why, ‘twas no one but I. 

Who dare claim arcana
And say that I am wrong
When they possess no mana
Empty spells charged by throng

Who dare rebuke the deceiver
And deliver utterances of ‘god’
Who dare use word to deliver
When lexicon, constant, amounting fraud

Who let these conmen win
And gouge me with their fear?
Who dare proclaim I sin
When their sins fill my ear

Who dare claim the bed
When sand upon they rest
Their beach stained blood red
With order as their quest

Who dare lock this stone
While, too, shackle every womb
Who dare claim a throne
When all thrones turn tomb

Who dare scribe this ‘sage’
Upon this very page
When written from a cage
Locked by indignant rage

Subscribe for More Poetry Puff.

Do you normally dislike poetry? Me too! It turns out, I like writing it, but I cringe at the thought of the stereotypical puffy culture surrounding it. If I want to smell my own farts all day, I stuff my belly with garlic and onions, thank you very much.

Anyway, if you want more poetry without all the stuffy pseudo-intellectual silliness attached, subscribe to my newsletter below. Unsubscribe at anytime. I respect your time by respecting mine. I don’t send frivolous bullshit.

AGHKGH! F@&# OFF POPUP!

Sorry, sorry! I just thought since you've been on this site for longer than average, you might hear me out?

Why do you do this to me, Ian...

Okay, okay, I'll be quick! I have a newsletter to keep you up-to-date on my content and projects. If my stuff tickles your pickle, help us both out by subscribing!

Also, I don't do anything shady or aggressive with your email address. I'll only send you the good stuff and won't share your email with any person/provider that isn't working for me to serve you better.

'Serve me better.' What deliciously vague jargon. Is this where you pretend to be me and you make me respond with a contrived form of consent because you're bold enough to assume this cute little chat interface gimmick is enough to actually get me to sign up?

Ummm... uhhh... ahh... Sign up and get exclusive discounts and early access!!!! Come ooooon! Induced scarcity is fun!


...alright, well, I'll leave it up to you.
