people


by dog e relaford



people are gross and disgusting
ignorant, and overly trusting
out of date, and out of touch
and i don’t care for them very much

where did they come from, anyway
and are they here to stay?
how much nicer the world would be
if it were not filled with such as these

is there any hope
for these slothful mopes?
must everything beautiful be destroyed
by these voids?

who have no appreciation
for life’s infinite variation
but lock themselves in empty rooms
and generate endless clouds of doom?

i wish i could close my eyes
and open them in sweet surprise
at break of dawn
to find all the humans gone

unbound at last
from the dreadful past
slaves to those monstrous creatures
with no redeeming features

how the birds would sing
every new day would bring
some wonderful new thing
o let freedom ring!
