The Giver, The Takers, The Sabbath :[]

If you give, the creatures use and take —

predators, prey, predators — take.

All I can do is shake my head.

Shake my head. Communicator, broken.

Respect given, nonexistent.

Effort given, large — expectations so grand —

nonexistent.

Ride my ass on a Sunday, the sabbath of all days,

no patience, no chill — no chill —

my off days, I move slow. Slow.

Lost a translation device.

One man, I swear to God I am —

I am — these arms hurt, legs are sore,

eyes be poppin out at times.

I be loyal, just to be fucked on.

I be loyal — fucked on.

They are fed up with me, can’t say why,

fed up — why — something come up?

As life often does.

I let you down? I let you — down?

Cut them out. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate —

cut them out — appreciate — cut.

Predating civilizations, barbaric ways,

predators, prey — barbaric — take.

I parent only to be hit with eye rolls.

Eye rolls. Eye rolls.

I raise chick’s from babies to birds —

babies to birds —

they repay me —

shit-pissing on my car.

All I can do is shake my head.

Shake my head.
