Disgusting Poem by Fab Ricciardi

The obvious disgusts me

Everything that symbolizes
What is supposed to be
What is expected of us
Is…
Disgusting

Maybe because the obvious
The white picket fence
The two point two children
The keeping up with the
F#*#ng Joneses
Is what is really
Disgusting

You just can never have enough
Can you?

I’ve seen so much
I did so much
I climbed the highest mountains
I swam in oceans and seas
That few only see in books

I lived, I loved
I laughed, I cried
Yet still
Through it all
Because of you
I am still
Disgusted

You phonies disgust me
Pointing fingers in disdain
Your white picket fences
Your picture perfect world
Your spray-painted greener grass

Open up your closet doors
Skeletons sure to pop out
You disgust me
With those happy faces
Hiding behind a sad mask of reality

You’re disgusting,
Go to hell,
I’ll meet you there!
