reversing the future course of events
I’m done counting my blessings
you see there’s nothing left
I’ve bundled them into packages
& shipped them off to those
who need them more than me
I just gave my last interview
did my best not to say
I don’t give a shit anymore
was quick to bite my tongue
instead talked about the children
needing more than ever before
how without the blessings
they’re destined to become
something we’ve never seen
in all of human history
