I have never attended a demonstration

Especially the popular ones

If people want to kill each other overseas

It is no business of mine

In fact it bores the fuck out of me

Even when I was at college

I did not care

Never believe those

Who say they care

My sister said that she cared

About the poor children

Starving in the third world

I told her that she was a liar

She slapped my face

I spat in hers

She cried

I pretended not to care

I told her that some races

Breed like flies

And basically

It was natural selection

Josie agreed with me

We apologised

To each other

Although

She requested

That if she slapped my face

That I slap hers

As spitting

Is the behaviour

Of primates
