“HomosapieNature”

The greatest oxymoron I've ever auscultated  

Emerged from premature orifices 

Has to be "act natural."

Thought I had severely wronged my reasoning

To even entertain such foolery

That is until I'd scrutinize it for myself:

Lies so dramatic, their smiles sang falsettos 

In the key of C flat major

Complete with synthesizings 

Tailor made to elastically fit the narrative

Of books we naively decreed no need to proofread

Groupthink for sake of forsaking our loneliness

In order to continue feathering a stock flock of

O' pinion.

Pretending to be fine without the print.

Facts a mile long stating otherwise,

Choosing to pursue the illusion of happiness

Rather than engage in deeper perusal to find these truths:

That there are expletives 

Hidden underneath spastic sternutations

Which cast exactly what we meant to say,

That the cataracting of our cataracts 

Are not allergic reactions

Nor Lachrymatory-factor synthases 

Sympathetic to or empathetic for 

The assassinations of alliums

That valiums help our Jekylls to Hyde

And the gestures we juggle

Allow us to laugh when we're scared,

Cry when we're happy,

Live like we're dying,

Breathe in suffocations which speed our heart rates

As a means to "calm our nerves."

My gods and devils.

The audacity!!
