Honesty

so busy
analyzing

never satisfied

looking for
meaning
in what we're doing,
and not doing what we're meaning with what
we're looking for

in a culture where
self love is measured by
self indulgence
and what is sacred
is subverted to
the alter and
slaughtered by sarcasm

i find myself on the edges asking

where are we going?
where have we been?

what is genuine?

we can talk about talking
we can think about thinking
this world is so fucking meta
meta
mocking

who are these assholes?
what are they trying to say,
without actually saying it?

no one is honest anymore
because honesty is not clever
witty
or ironic
it is not safe
secure
or protected

honesty is both an opening inside
and a weapon to turn and stab with

concealed behind our masks
i ask
to remove mine

as to live honestly and openly
