the equalizer
the wind that dusts my hair
doesn't know i just shampooed
the cows that share their milk
will never guess i hide from butter
the breakfast that fills my stomach
has no clue it might give me acidity
the paper that brings me gore
won't know i despise reading it
the music that makes me hum
wouldn't know i downloaded it
the photographs that jail me
aren't going see me miss my youth
the money that pays my rent
will never smell of my cologne
the words that fund my living
won't dare elope with my thoughts
the dreams that fuel my greed
won't ever stop because i am awake
the plastic that ruffles in my yard
isn't bothered about my eco friendliness
and everything else that's around me
couldn't give a rat's ass about my life
but despite all that, i brighten up
when someone tells me good morning

Ha ha... Yeah... I know how it is when those negatives try to bum-rush you. All you have to do is get negative with them because, as we know, all two negatives can do is cancel each other out. Great work!
