saifullah khan

can i write something strong enough to keep me from throwing up?
can i turn away hard enough to keep me from throwing up?
can i wipe away the barbed words and keep me from throwing up?

Thimali tells me I want to throw up
The world right now it makes me want to throw up
I see this article how long will we lie how long will we keep ourselves from throwing up
even when we are throwing up will it ever be enough

even when each page of a newspaper makes us throw up will it ever be enough

i want to throw up all the cruelty in this world, all the emptiness and the horror
the men standing in our halls the men created by this system the system the man
throw them all up and hope they come out in pieces transformed that can be never stitched back together again

i cannot tell you more than this, i want to throw up
i cannot tell you more than this, it isn't enough
