In Memoriam, Y.


I'm supposed to get up here 
And say, "Boy, you've got class!" 
You're so full o' fuckin' talent
That it drips outta your crack!

That if you follow your dreams 
It'll all come to pass
"This here's a meritocracy!"
Man, get your head outta your ass. 

IT IS NOT.
Good morning.

I had a privileged life, AND I got lucky, AND I'm unhappy.

What, you want to make sense
AND talk in rhyme?
Fine, this is it, here it goes,
You ungrateful fucking swine.

It's puberty and 
Growing pains,
Having political "opinions", and a 
Growing sense of shame

It's Anderson Cooper
On C-N-friggin'-N
What a fine arse on that man, 
Can I get an amen?!

Masturbation on a daily basis
(My girlfriend only got us past two bases)
There's hentai and octopii
Unnecessarily fetishized
American Psycho 101 says 
Read a book by Freud!

(I had a weird dream about an uncle, okay bitch? Sue me.)

Oh gosh darn, it happened again,
I slipped outta rhyme, 
And hurt your wee brain

This is the problem, though, let me to give it to you straight
(Though I'm bent as a faggot), 
Bitch, lemme illustrate

The problem
With this
Generation 
Is not

Social media or misandry
Or exponential moral rot

Or the kids who don't 
Like the Pope anymore
He's a swell guy, really, 
But I just wanna elope

With my hell-bound girl, and bottle of 'shine
Netflix and chill, that's the new party line

But the party's stopped cold
There's bombs at the door
There's blood on the floor

The NRA is on every 
World leader's honor roll
Even Chaning Tatum couldn't beat
This fucking gun show

There's good boys in jail for committing the crime
Of being born in President Donald Trump's time
Once you go black, you get shot in the back
Try to breathe, 
But you can't, you can't, you can't.

This is beginning to hurt, as I start to speak
This hurts all the little parts of me
This is the story of the generation raised to believe
That if you try just a little, you might be on TV!

So all the girls are off showin' their new tits
On some kinda wacko 'empowerment' kick
Which, when you think about it, really, what a great business model
Make a sex tape! Ask Kardashian! It all works out in the long run! :) 

They're tellin' us it's fine, kids, it's all good
There's a McD's and an Exxon in every neighbourhood!
Because, come on, guys, haven't any of you heard?
Climate change isn't real!

....Al Gore, damn, you tried man, you really did, that's all that counts. Fuck 'em bro, what do they know, right?

(Whoops, my bad,
Getting back on track)

A little bit of context, here, if you didn't know about this -
Al Gore made "Global Warming" a part of your thesaurus
All the world went, goddamn, that deserves an Oscar
All of America went, 
Um.
Nah.

And if you still don't get it, let's get a bit deeper
(haha thats what he said) (Ugh, I need to find Jesus)
Just 2 degrees hotter, you idiot pendejo, 
Is a LOT! It's a planet, not a shitty breakfast burrito.

There's a kid already born, who is going to die
Because of catastrophic planet failure
This ain't a fuckin' lie

We've got epidemics of obesity
And at the same time,
African kids starve to death, just down the line.
Explain that one to me, and while you're at it
Serve up some bullshit about saturated fatty acids
"A New Study Shows Ham's Good for your Heart"
And if you wanna fasttrack to hell... It'll do it's part.

At least, that's what I read in the book of the Lord
Not that One, not Him either, no, I mean the other Guy
The real one that's really sitting in the sky

Judging us for all of our sins and our lube
Damning us for our 'exponential moral rot'
Preaching hate to the choir, during Sunday school
The all-loving, merciful, genocidal little snot

But

It's fine, it's okay, I've drunk the Kool-Aid
Apparently, we're all 
Riding the same highway

We're paying our dues, and getting fucked in our asses
We've got Oculus lenses and backstage passes
To this grand fucking shitshow you birthed us into
You fought too many wars and killed too many Jews
You burnt too much coal and raped too many women
You don't even realize the things we've forgiven

So let us be, 
This ain't your part
Give us some time
To go back to the start

Exeunt right.
Now.



This was written in memory of You.

47 Perfectly Normal Thoughts I had while Losing My KUTWK Virginity

  1. UHHH so Scott and Kourtney used to be married??? I feel so out of the loop this is sad.
  2. Khloe is such an absolute bitch to Kris. And Kris is like, "I wanna sew up my vagina", and this is most mom thing I have ever heard no joke.

  4. Kris just said she’s “allergic” to bees? I did not know this was a thing.
  5. Kim is giving young women advice for their future. Her advice is to 'have drive'? I. I. Okay.

  7. Why does Kim blink sooooooo sloooooowly.
  8. Apparently getting a shitty Etsy signboard that says “That was then; This is now,” will BLOW KRIS WAAAAY THE FUCK AWAY.
  9. Kris is dating a younger man. Khloe is happy 'Stella got her groove back.' 
  10. Khloe explains to her mother why her mother’s younger boyfriend has asked her to go island weekend holidaying. “It’s called intercourse, mom.” REVELATIONS ALL AROUND FOLKS.

  12. Good times, good times.
  13. Kourtney is realest, sweetest, nicest person ever. She did not nothing to deserve this insanity. God.

  17. The Kardashians are unnaturally obsessed with bellybuttons it is the THIRD TIME THEY HAVE MENTIONED IT IN LESS THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES. WHAT EVEN.
  18. *examines own bellybutton with great dread*
  19. Oh god I have a terrible bellybutton what the actual bye.
  20. Khloe just used the word dysmorphia correctly. Mind = blown.
  21. Kendall looks so early '00s Kate Moss and I have never been more nostalgically happy.
  22. Kim is eating as much in one meal as as I eat in an entire day this is giving me so much hope guys. *hunts down family size pack of doritos* *EATS*
  23. THEIR CLOSET IS THE SIZE OF MY ROOM
  24. THEIR CLOSET IS BIGGER THAN MY ROOM

  26. Kim is like the Steve Jobs in this biz in the sense that. IDK. IDK in what sense. I have no actual living neurons anymore.
