Flippance is a Goodbye Song

 

 

Flippance is a goodbye song,

It comes with the yeah yeah yeah’s,

The no no no’s and,

‘Good luck with that,’ they say!

 

     What it actually means is;

I don’t care for you, your opinions

And angle on life,

For it’s too sore a point of controversy,

Too much the truth perhaps and,

‘don’t mind me,’

Don’t mind at all if I ignore

The all you’ve been through

And the all you see through,

     I have a life to live and I’ll make

My own mistakes,

‘yeah yeah yeah I will reply,

Too unkind in following other

Peoples pauses and,

It’s horses for courses around

These here parts,

Parts that,

The guru from Niburu

Hastens to its death.

 

‘Yeah,

Yeah,

Yeah’

     You’ve heard it all before

A million miles away you’ll say,

Not even far from where you once was

Born still,

No-one likes a smartarse,

Another pitiful comment loaded with

Lie after lie after lie

For in truth, many, many

Carry on the spurious investigation

Of others by belittling their psyche,

Belittling by knowledge they

Feel is the new trend and hey,

No,

No,

No!

 

     You cannot cope with my truth,

So I may as well throw it all away,

No one has learned anything except they’ll

Say,

     ‘he,’ had it coming’

‘well what did you expect’

There but for the grace of God

And,

     ‘he’s running up a gob shop!’

 

     What I have tried,

Some will understand,

What I really tried to do

Was wake you from the

Carousel that goes

Around and

Around

And around,

     Each spitting the same shit

The same spiel

Following on the trends of make

Believe that you know!

 

     When in essence,

All you’re gauging is whether

Someone says it better,

More conviction,

More grit,

More spit,

More akin to bafta awards

The golden globe

The Oscars…………

 

…………Poverty is rich with

Its trappings,

War is a forbidden carrot

That only rabbits down warrens of

Swamps dare bite,

For they have little in way of options,

Love can work if you work it through,

Listening is a skill deserved for the wise

And hate,

Is most commonly said,

When  flippance becomes a goodbye song!
