A Nice Cup of Tea

The Unnecessary Line

Nausea

It's calling me

Nausea

Won't leave me

Be

Nausea just becomes me

i kiss your forehead you kiss my neck, we dance as the kettle clicks and we have a nice cup of tea and a sit

Blood spills

and no one cares.

Blood spills

and everyone acts like they always have.

Another rebellion

muzzled by the fists of the state.

But look at the pretty pictures on your scroll. Look at the pretty people in a row as they accept their awards and bow to God and mothers and fathers.
