Merciless ~ Philip Brent
Most days my life is so crazy and confusing
It does not one bit of good to keep refusing
I find no answers in the books I’m perusing
I’m told it’s all about the winning and losing
And I think this more than a little bemusing
Leaving me battered, all so bloody bruising
I suppose there are things I could be infusing
Most days I believe I might take up boozing
While channels on the idiot box I’m cruising
Show me stuff they tell me I should be using
Drugs on offer may leave me dead or oozing
I cannot afford the rest, so no sense choosing
And not an arrow in my quiver, to be loosing
Need a nonviolent reference I can be reusing
Current candidates scare me or I am snoozing
Bigotry, misogyny, hate so I can the blues sing
And I find not one little bit of this shit amusing
That is why my world is so crazy and confusing
