Some friends
are only friends
as long as you keep drinking
the same alcohol, eating
the same crap food, gossiping
’bout the same people, & moaning
’bout the same damn shit.
Then you walk away from all of it
because you have decided
to no longer be retarded.
And they go,
“You, I no longer know.”
But hey bae!
We have the right to say,
“Screw you.
I don’t know you too.”
“Urban War” is one of the poems in the anthology The Lion Eating the Sun and its upcoming upgraded version The Lion Eating the Sun Ultra Edition.
