bothered
the bothered do not build
they dismantle
they set fire and take apart
cradle guns and hold their hearts
pray to god
and purpose
pushed into starting
again
and
again
and never really ending
the bothered do not buy it
from you or the world
they would rather try it
climbing to the apex of their minds
and turning their faces around
to greet the sun
they find waiting for them
there
out of this
they tear a rift
into our world
and demand to be seen
and though they remind us
with fire and blood
just what remains
at the fringes
their voices
resurrect themselves
in us
now bothered too much
because before
we could not be bothered enough
