# The High Road You Expect Us to Take To Oblivion Author: Apolarbear17 Tags: Anger, Originally Written During Election Time, Poetry, politics, venting A fairly angry vent poem I made about then current political events. Was questioning whether to even post this here since those events are over and it feels like I wrote this so much longer ago than it was and so much has changed more has happened since I wrote this poem but I feel it's important to go through my backlog in order and not just skip over things so here we are. This poem really speaks for itself. Originally posted and written November 2020 The High Road You Expect Us To Take To Oblivion                                                       By: A.X. Bueno The high road heading towards oblivion  Is that what you just expect me & others to joyfully take?  Well I see, fuck you then You make both my head and stomach ache  You and all the others who relish my demise,  While having a love and smile so clearly fake  You don't have any sympathy or empathy for anyone but yourself no matter how much you pretend to disguise  Anyone who cares and truly knows what's going on can see through your blatant, self deluded lies You cheered for this for four years either directly or indirectly and by now the mask is gone We see who you really are under the crappy deception and it's sad if you haven't yet seen that you're wrong You've rooted for people who've strip people of their basic rights and showed happiness at protections now being gone  You laughed and mocked us four years as you won the first time  Drinking in our terror and tears and then going on to applaud every crime  And at this point there's not much left to be said   You've made your bed as your malicious choices have made many lives nightmares  You expect us to forgive you and still hold you in some regard You laughed and brushed off the concern at those who knew back then and now are shocked we seek to discard  We're not being unfair and you're not oppressed  It's just no one wants to deal with you as we continue to try and sort through the mess  The one you made thanks to your bigotry, hatred, contrarianism and misplaced fear What you did with one awful, continuous choice to this country we'll be stuck fixing for at least a few years  Yet you've defended it endlessly and acted like you did the good thing Then get stupidly angry and hypocritical when it's pointed out, the suffering that you brung and still bring So no the high road won't be taken, you need to acknowledge what you've done  Through your direct and indirect actions you've hurt, mocked, occasionally killed and dehumanized many  I'm hoping we win this time and they're be happiness and gloating aplenty  You don't get to complain ever again about how we conduct ourselves regardless of the outcome of this year The high road to oblivion won't be taken, at least not here I've watched so much destruction and hardship caused by a select few these past four years We  both know they're on your side, this administration of exploitative fear  So we won't go quietly no matter the outcome we'll be here  But I'm hoping there'll be a win for everyone's sake and there'll be some positive change next year  I know you'll be very sore losers and won't own up to anything you did  But you won't get to just forget, there'll be consequences for your terrible bid  After 4 years any good faith to be had for you has eroded into the past The high road is gone and while the lowness of your level will probably never be reached, things are almost at an end at last  The results of this time still remain to be seen However you won't just win with your cheating ways and use of loopholes and schemes  Know that actions have consequences that you might be forced to actually glean  And while we won't be you we can still get the right amount of necessary mean    Source: https://sofurry.com/s/Rm0AyWvn
