dusting is dealing with corpses
we've grown desensitized
it's amazing just how twisted this
disguise of horror got
we say "they didn't pay
for rent or groceries
or make amazing music, so
why should we even care?
they're like us but they aren't us
so it's ok to be indifferent
and i can sleep just fine
knowing no 'human' had died."
and we say the same for cows
when we hear them crying
for the loss of their moms, their kids
because we wanted milk
