Mercy

Ezra Olson

Mercy photo

some under armor outer wear 
wearing ass fed
wants you dead

some smug but soft tenured prof 
scoffs at books
he hasn’t read 

some cyber truck fuck ups bust 
nuts to musks
budget cuts 

some pump and dumping only fan
is proud to be 
a lonely man

some people really have no taste
and still they eat
it’s such a waste

some people never really work
it’s bad for you
you have to hurt

I’d put them all to laying track
from New York to LA
and back

I’d teach them how to fucking sweat
for their own souls 
we’ll save them yet
