Please Don’t Include Me

In your billion-million things;
I have so many issues so pressing,
Please don’t include me.

And please don’t include me
in your dreams of a billion
to win a game so trifle
a game so religious,
the ex-master gave it for free;

Please don’t include me
in counting your supporters
I’m a fan of no one at all
I admire only non-living things
like mountains, and whisky;

Please don’t include me
when you say there are
one billion people following
the hunger strikes and fasts and protests
All the time I’m just too hungry.

Hungry to live a life
Thirsty to drink the blood dry
I’d include myself
if you can say or just push:
“Democracy is just a fucking lie.”
