Leave the dictators
to their piles of dirty dishes
the facists to their
fascination with fractions
and the conservatives
to their unhealthy concern for Kabbalah.
Leave the liberals to
their lizard skin collections
the professional
athletes to their contemplation of their own lifespans
and the orphans
around the world to their opinions about single use plastics.
Leave the garbagemen
to their cherry picking
the politicians to
their arguements with their own spouses
and the Hollywood
elite to their ever increasing lactose intolerance.
Leave the poets to
their rubiks cube pastimes
the songwriters to
picking pistachio nuts from between their teeth
and the exotic
dancers to paying back past taxes.
Leave the junkies to
their double dutch jump rope
the professional
bowlers to their Budweiser blue balls
and the weekend
warrior badminton players to their uncircumcised shuttlecocks
Leave the high school
teachers to their stock investments in Kevlar
the lunch ladies to
their frozen pizza perservative Fridays
and the school bus
drivers to resisting every impulse to commit suicide.
Leave the Mexican day
laborers to their salted margarita day dreams
the Orthodox Rabbis
to their all you can eat kosher buffet at the Crab Cake Factory
and the Mormons to
their insecurity when it comes to eating Swedish meatballs
Leave the neo-nazis
to their swastika needle point pillow making
the Muslim
Brotherhood to their bow tie community controlled chaos
and the Hari
Krishna’s to their hopscotch game through a hostile universe.
Leave the punk
rockers to their safety pin conformity safety net
the hip hop heads to
their 8 point Scrabble word score for the N-word
and the country music
fans to the chewing gum stuck under the seats at the Grand Ole Opry.
Leave the barbers to
deal with the insecure vanity of all the white boys with beards
the tattoo artists to
all the impressions of life that can be persuaded into a persons skin
and the piercers to
all the loopholes in life that may help another get over their hang-ups.
Leave the
storytellers to their fabled lifes of imaginary luxury
the acoustic guitar
slinging troubadors to all their songs strung out on cat gut
and the burlesque
dancers to all their bellybuttons filled with boa feathers.
Leave the newscasters
to their muppet like open and shut mouths
the journalists to
their fear of being labeled fake news
and the talk show
hosts to the horrors of silence after midnight.
Leave the shopkeepers
to ponder what do with all their extra stock
the cafe owners to
all the empty tables waiting to occupied by cockroaches
and the fast food
franchises to pockets full of human fat.
Leave the Gods to
their congregations buttoned up with fear
the choirs with their
vocal chords strung around their necks
and the atheisists to
believing that they have the answers.
Leave the universe
alone to manifest its own mayhem
the distant planets
as unhabited as they currently are
and the rest of
humanity
leave it at peace
with sorting out the mess
that rest of us have
scrambled into tiny little pieces.
