special


by genghis gilgamesh



i am special
and so are you
adolf hitler was special
and ted bundy was too

some people are more special than others
and that is a natural fact
they teach you different at harvard
but they are smoking crack

everybody is special
in their own special way
some never stop talking
and others have nothing to say

<> the ones who talk the most
say the same things again and again
the words fall like raindrops
on a roof of cardboard or tin

i remember the silence
when the world was first invented
then a special person spoke up
and he could not be prevented

then the second special person
added his voice to the chorus
now everybody talks at once
and that is the prospect before us

i wish i was not special
but only a blade of grass
among a trillion others just like me
watching the clouds above me pass
