deep revenge

Sometimes I want 
revenge on a world 
that refuses to value 
people who refuse 
to be conventionally 
valuable, not for my 

own sake 

mind you 

oh no not that. It's just
not fair. Or, it's fair -
but not just. Either way 
fuck people valuing shit 
like people as if those 
people were shit! I say 

what we can do about it 
is live exemplary lives 
to uplift and inspire, 
take full and personal
responsibility for all 
the outcomes of our 
chosen acts and courses, 

disregard 

the worthless opinions 
of all who'd find others 
worthless, and then 

once they've taken the bait 
and valued us for such uplift 
and example and responsibility 
and invincible self-respect, then 

then 

the revenge. 

Revenge. 

We don't need to plan that part
yet. Just get started on the front 
end, we'll 

see how it lies. As opportunities 
arise.
