Tired of the Hullabaloo
A poem
By Patty L. Fletcher
Moon Phase New
*Criminals need not apply*
I’m tired of people not doing what they say they’ll do.
I’m tired of all the bull shit and hullabaloo.
Tired of the madness,
Tired of the rain.
Tired of the anger,
Tired of the pain.
I want to live a simple life.
A life free,
Free of ridiculous waste of life,
A life of accomplishment,
Not one of negativity and strife.
I’m tired of people,
People who cannot separate business and professionalism from personal junk.
I’m sorry to seem dispassionate,
But it’s not my problem you’re totally fucked up.
Get it together or get out.
For I’m tired of the nonsense,
I know longer care what it’s about.
You’ve a job,
A job to do.
Get off the boob tube.
I no longer want to hear from you.
I’m tired of the lies,
Statements of violence and disdain.
America could be great again,
If you’d just go the hell away.
I’m tired of all the bull shit,
All the hullabaloo.
In short,
I’m tired of you.
I don’t need a stinking dictator,
A Hitler wanta be.
Hearing you speak,
It makes me sick,
Can’t you see?
Even those who appear to support,
They’re tired of you too.
They just don’t have the balls to say so,
In truth,
They want to get rid of you.
I’m tired of the bull shit.
Tired of the hullabaloo.
