if you want

to piss people off

telling them

your truth

the tells

they don’t know

they have

don’t want to hear

& that’s the key

nobody

wants the truth

preferring avoidance

something not frightening

comforting

pretty please

because if you insist

on spraying the world

saying as you feel it

hate will come in

from all points

such are

the consequences

which come

with a heavy

price tag

instead

you must learn

to sugar coat

your bitter pills

like everyone

else
