Pitiful philosopher I am

Pififul philosopher I am Drinking Hemlock without the finishing effects Just mere irritation, metallic taste in my mouth Upset stomach Not doing what it was desired to do Lingering in this wraith state Stupid mosquito humping mannequin skin Unable to pierce, but still stalking Predator of the inanimate Styrofoam weapons of war Throwing water balloons at each other Trying to lacerate Every action defeating the purpose 'The end justifies the means' Binoculars in hand Eyes glued to heavens security cameras Nor ramifications in sight Keep fighting Jabbing with thumb pokes At worst inflict tickle Brush away pain Walking away from one 'Car accident' after another Shattered glass in my gums Continue to eat Digest Live healthily What the fuck is wrong with this picture? Jim Jones depicted as a saint Thrown upon the funeral pyre of immortality For leading others into his ways Make you feel as I feel Cursing wheelchairs because we're all handicapped Limping through life, blind as a mole Diggin excuses Irrigation of lies Making someone else's foundation our home Building on sunken ground Raising the dead with every phrase Wanting to be among them Taking what I can get  Second Best Price reduced Fall prey to the 99-cent mentality Saving so little Slavery for advertisement Billboard answered prayers So says God Right next to Camel Joe Inhaling with a smile of acceptance Now that's what I call a role model!
