"It Is What It Is"

 

“It is what it is,”

the inexplicable by me.

I haven’t the words

or the will to comment.

The wars, the killings,

this misconduct,

and malfeasance,

the lies

and the liars,

the cheaters

and the cheated,

the bigoted,

the defamed

and betrayed,

the starved

and misplaced,

the injustice

and disgraced,

The dying

and the dead,

the imprisoned

and escaped,

the indicted

and the acquitted

and condemned,

the good,

the bad,

and the

goddamned ugly

of all mankind.

I wish I could proclaim,

but I don’t have the

words or the time.

“It is what it is.”
