Left to my own devices,
I am an engine of atrocity.
My idle fingers
Keep getting tangled in politics
And before I know it,
There’s been another genocide.
It’s not that I try,
It’s that I don’t,
And destruction
Follows in my wake.
I just can’t seem to kill time
Without committing crimes
Against the whole of humanity.
My wife tells me
That I should get a hobby
Before I accidentally fill
Any more mass graves.
I tell her
Maybe tomorrow.
