An Ill-Mannered Speech
Go ahead, fear the
Coarseness of the world
I can't do any fucking
Thing to stop you.
Some terror is healthy,
I understand, but what
You need to realize is
That you're going to
Miss out on a lot
Of shit.
That being, the uncut beauty
That roughness adds to
Certain things.
And I can't convince you
Of any damn thing, I know.
But consider that before
The world was so fucking refined,
It was raw.
And even you, for all of your forsaken,
Horrible goddamn mannerisms
Should be able to see
The undeniable fucking purity
In that.
Place your warning signs,
Your shitty content ratings, and your
Superiority anywhere you
Wish, but remember
That to do so requires travelling
To some "unsavory" parts.
And when you arrive
To this damned distasteful
Ground I'll be here
To kick your lily-white ass
Off of it.
Take your fucking holier-than-thou
Attitude away from me, be
Who you want but
Know that you won't be placing any
Of your useless, self-conceived
Limitations on me.
Not as long as I have these words in
My mouth to say something
About it, motherfucker.
An acquired taste, it might be.
Sour to you, but sweetly
Righteous to those who embrace
The ruggedness of life.
Damned if you do, and damned
If you don't.
Anger triggers violence triggers
The uncouth.
Fight your words, throw your
Clenched fists in slow
Motion towards that
Piece of your
Mind.
Be my guest, asshole.
But I will tell you, that as soon
As you take into account
Some emotions long denied
A word will arise from
The tip of your tongue,
And you will feel
Shame.
Though in it, a glimmer will
Shine amongst the shit.
A diamond in the
Dust,
For there are
A few moments that
Regret doesn't exist.
When you answer the unspoken
Question and tell your girl
Her ass doesn't look fat,
Or your guy that his dick
Is the largest you've
Ever seen, regardless of the
Lie that may or may not be,
It will be worth the language.
Foul, yet once you see that
Smile, and pleasure spread
Across their face, doesn't
It make you see the
Harshness of the
World in a
Different
Light?
