The Monetization of Love

I hate today.
I live in a world that does not appreciate me.
Instead it flaunts my name at cost.
When I was born I believed in a world that cared.
A world that appreciated and valued what I represent.
That feeling inside, the diluted sense of wonder.
No one really cares anymore.
They are all veneers of manipulation.
I hate Love.
Love makes me weak.
Love makes me vulnerable.

You exploit love.
Love should be special.
Love isn't hallmark.
Love is a magical feeling.
Love is bullshit.
Love is a lie.
I used to believe in love once.
But, it's all bullshit!

Valentine's day is a complete utter piece of shit.
They're using you.
You're naive.

You don't know nothing about Love.
You think it's a fairytale. It's not. It's bullshit!

I don't value love.
I hate it.

I also don't celebrate my birthday.
In fact I hate it when other people want to celebrate my birthday.
They buy me gifts, they wish me good will, they want to see me.
What commercialized bullshit.

I am Love, and I don't want you to celebrate my birthday this Valentines.

PS. Buy My Phone (IT'S PINK!)

The Center of the Universe [The Rap]

I also have a spoken word recital, but this version felt less cringeworthy(?) to put out there.

The Center of the Universe

When I get close to you,
you move away from me.

You call me obsessive,
you call me self-centered.

When you get close to me,
I move away from you.

You call me a hypocrite,
you call me selfish.

That is how our universe works.
That's how the universe works.

Seventeen billion years ago, the universe came into existance.
Seventeen billion years later, it's grown and still grows.
We are all part of its uniformed expansion,
distancing us evenly through time and space.

So you're right. When you call me self-centered.
With all the stars in time and space,
expanding evenly away from me.
I am the center of the universe.

Just like you are to me.

The Morality of Men

You live your life aspiring to be reckless.
You try justify it by saying you have male ethics.
That you're more manly than most guys you meet.

Well, let me tell you something.
Men LOVE.
Men OBSESS.
Men DESIRE.

The ethics of cheaters on the other hand.
They string as many people along for the ride as they can.
They spread themselves thin, to stop themselves from becoming attached.
To be in a position whereby everyone is replaceable.

While you're so quick to accuse the media of political misinformation.
You ignore that the media are the ones who also portray the morality of men.
You ignore that the media are the ones who also portray the morality of women.

Instead you say you're rebelling from their stereotype,
that you won't be trapped,
that you won't be tamed.

I'm not looking for someone to tame.
I'm not looking for someone to fix.
I'm not looking for someone to change.

I'm looking for someone to learn from.
I'm looking for someone to grow towards.
I'm looking for someone to love.
