Played Again

Number14 1972 (California)

Sold out and under another Mac truck.
My head is delirious and this is ridiculous.
Stupidity lingers within my conscious.
Uncomfortable and awkward.
The arrogance.
The entitlement
The undermining
All the condescending remarks.
The under the breathe mumbling.
Its disgusting.
Stay or leave.
Changed everything around.
Offend defend assume
What day is this,
The same day it has been 3 years in a row.
Stuck in fear.
How am I supposed to live?
