You until it is quite stubborn
someone goes shoulders hunched
no empirical knowledge
many nouns and little protein
do not you dare look at me like higher
although it is above average for an ignorant
not dare to raise the tone of his voice
that does not even reach one octave #G
do not try to pull away, or pretend it is not hurt
because I know you’re a fox
who has learned to follow the masses imitating the sheep.

You seem quite stubborn
someone apologizes all the time
and there is nothing unique in resignation
you are too insipid and even if he sold
his soul that would make a difference
dare to know, beloved daughter, sister, and friend
and question about the glass permanently by half
I will not be cruel to preserve its values
I will destroy until the last atom
his puerile beliefs
dare if you can
I want to flog what’s more primitive
in you
your animal spirit that is asleep
I will incite distrust
because I want to see your face flush
and suddenly his hatred and indignation disintegrate
until your kidneys
your insolence is your terminal illness
the tooth decay, rotting fruit basket
this is you!
I will not sweeten the pill
and an extremely rational person
emotional well you are with respect
defend what he believes
made to the complicated love of coming-of-age novels
shaped to love the radio, cinema, internet, and TV
willing to defend with their lives
all these theories…
do not try to ignore me because I know better
than either
I am the accumulation of synapses
that you deem to be just a daydream
I am in awe almost fool
to realize the beauty of your eyes in the mirror
while all are content to decipher
your poker face
I know what goes on in your heart
so try to scream lustily
with that little voice that does not even reach one octave #G
can crack teeth and clench his fists
because I know three or four words that can make you fall apart
you are still the fox learned to be good, imitating the sheep
but do not try to underestimate me because I know you
better than anyone.
