Don’t make me laugh human.
You are nothing if not a joke.
You love to blame everyone but yourself,
For every fire you stoke.
Don’t make me laugh human.
Do you think that you know of pain?
You love thinking that you are so oppressed,
And touch blood for the stain.
Don’t make me laugh human.
You don’t know what it’s like to be,
Pushed to the outside of your own species,…
Forgotten completely.
Don’t make me laugh human.
Your superficial victimhood,
Is so clear when you always get to speak,
Louder than others could.
Don’t make me laugh human.
If you were oppressed, you’d be me:
A humanoid-looking being who’s scanned,…
Classed as, “Anomaly”;
And no one would ever agree,
To listen to you, or to understand.
They’d simply press *Delete*,
And then continue on as planned.
