ACRONYMS

I’m caught up with the D.A.Y.S.
Even though I’m young, I don’t belong with my generation
I don’t know what people are saying when they send me a message
Deciphering the contents take up most of my concentration.
 
I start off my D.A.Y.S. with bed hair
No matter how much I comb it, it still looks like a lion’s mane
I’m also paranoid about getting fat; why can’t we just survive off air?
I’m often admired for my beauty instead of my brain.
 
Omg, lol, brb; what is this mysterious code?
I know people are lazy, but this is just ridiculous
Whenever I use common grammar, people look like they’re about to explode
I’m stressed about performing well academically while other women want to look fabulous.
 
People call me “odiosa” just because I’m comfortable to stay by myself
I don’t feel the need to constantly talk just to hear my own voice
Many people don’t like me because I “break the spell”
That keeps people in la-la land; on the contrary, they should rejoice!
 
“People often appear bright until they speak”
That saying is so damn true and I’ll point it out
My quiet personality deludes people into believing that I’m weak
On the contrary, I’ll ignore your provocations and leave you to pout.
 
I don’t know why I must suffer the D.A.Y.S
Men often boast about their dicks and how much they’ve grown
I’m socially awkward enough as it is
But even I’d try to make a conversation instead of looking at my phone.  
 
Ttly, Shar; wtf is that?
Oh crap, I’ve just typed like the droning bees do
So many of my generation act like spoiled brats
They don’t say my full name; they don’t even spell out “you”.
 
Thank God I’ve passed through puberty
The physical changes were awkward enough, but I couldn’t stand the girls my age
Hormonal teenagers would often use the empty space by my locker as an opportunity…
To have an intense make-out session; our ideals are not on page.
 
Bullies are vicious, and the competition is tough
I mind my own business, yet people want to stick their nose in mine
People commented that the reason why I don’t have a boyfriend is because I’m rough
This is what I have to deal with my D.A.Y.S, though I don’t like to whine.  
 
It’s hypocritical of me to use an acronym to describe how I can’t stand them and other things
Though I suppose eventually I’d get caught up with some norms from my generation
Women my age may only care about the bling
Maybe the younger people can set up a better foundation.  

'Tell me more...' Hit Send.  
Out to distant zip code,  
fine line walking.    
   
First words flow swift between screens.    
Then 2Ds, an MP3.    
   
Carbon exchanges soak, stretch cotton:    
LH6, version 4G.    
   
Hands moving south,    
Bodies arching, releasing.    
From across state lines  
fine line crossing.

Liquid gold coveted      
under burning sand            
Imperialism and Christianity            
Journeying hand in hand

Kill or be killed    
seasonal pastime            
Peace through violence            
works every single time        
         
Unpoetic rhymes of the insecure mind            
   
Y E A H !    
     
Dissected map for a new enemy to find            
Oil pipes to cap over which to salivate            
And on and on goes the debate while            
God hates these fucking wars            
     
Nevermind those commandments            
you profess to adore        
        
Thou Shalt Not Kill            
What else is this for?            
     
This isn't how security is sought            
Still Osama isn't caught            
           
The path to Peace            
this most definately is            
NOT            
           
Panic button pushed            
firing up the war machine            
Air raid sirens, hysteria---          
what politicians never really mean            
Through smoke and mirrors    
your capitalized fears Is    
The War Against Terrorism    
that remains to be seen          
           
Grand was the experiment in arrogance            
Incompetence at the helm of national defense            
Budget cuts, under orders, neglect of the borders            
Missing boards, gaping holes in the security fence            
           
NOT long after enemy was allowed in          
came rapid one-hundred eighty spin            
Global shift in policy, rift in attitude            
Eyes on the prize --- kept on the crude            
           
T.W.A.T.  is NOT          
a valid excuse      
to invade         
a foreign country

HOT on heels of Osama's so called accomplice            
Search and seizure of bombs          
Saddam's regime supposedly possessed            
while scapegoats rocking the boat, confessed            
to faulty data Stated when Union was Addressed            
           
You're NOT a Patriot          
Questioning war makes you a Pacifist            
inviting into our home the All Purpose Terrorist            
while emergence of violence          
from reciprocated insurgence          
is blamed on the boogeyman Islamic Fascist            
           
T.W.A.T. is NOT          
a valid excuse      
to occupy        
a foreign country          
       
The shocking and aweful reality?             
Imperialists hijacked our military          
           
This war was NOT        
what it was perpetuated to be          
Not in the least          
           
Bring back the men and women
serving in the Middle East    
   
sent to Iraq in premeditated attack            
as you evoke the name of God          
in an American Jihad---            
body count rises    
as you turn your back            
on families of ally, fellow countrymen            
on newfound friend, the Iraqi civilain            
now caught in the crossfire      
of hegemonistic desire            
your T.W.A.T. reeks of      
prolongued impossibility to win        
    
They're dropping by the hour      
in abuse of power;          
unsuspecting flies      
in a woven web of lies          
Suicide roaches      
camoflauged wasps  
aiming for our soldiers      
and allies under      
hate filled skies        
       
Written between the lies          
the shocking and aweful truth of it          
Just another excuse purely bullshit       
Furthest thing from legitimate
