Bitter Pill

Bitter Pill
Patience is not a virtue, it is a debt
Time served under penalty of regret
Love is never without pain
Every genius equal parts insane
Truth is a roller coaster, satisfaction dependent on
where you sit during the ride
Conformity and Religion are a marriage made where the masses reside
The Universe conspires against our will
As desire leaves us to hunger still
Peace is never permanent
Adaptation a friend of change
Comfort is an illusion
Clarity comes when thoughts become untamed
Hate is a vice unchallenged by Indifference
Sex is fueled by violence
Choices aren’t decided upon, just made
and everyone knows
Happiness is a grenade!
