Where have you gone?
I know you're still out there.
I'm still right here.
I don't get it, it's not fair.
It's not like I
Burn churches,
Drink goat's blood,
Or gut babies.
Even if I'm
Cloven-hoofed and fork-tongued,
I've held down a job,
Made friends, and got married.
I brake for squirrels,
Love puppies,
And hold doors for old ladies.
Oh, you're so awe-inspiring!
I'm so unworthy!
Mr. Piety,
Turn your gaze on me;
This wretched thing,
This affront to humanity.
I can't take the heat.
I'm your Dante,
And I'm not even
Supposed to be here today.
For argument's sake,
Just go ahead and say that
You're the villain,
And I am the good man;
An even-keeled
Person who
Has value
And self-worth.
But I know you hate
The way I live my life,
The way that I speak,
Everything about me,
So fuck off,
You self righteous,
Shit-eating
Sonofabitch.
Oh, you're so awe-inspiring!
I'm so unworthy!
Mr. Piety,
Turn your gaze on me;
This wretched thing,
This affront to humanity.
I can't take the heat.
I'm your Dante,
And I'm not even
Supposed to be here today.
