by Tim Loveday 

 

it’s who’s eating [Gil’s] grapes [of wrath]

sta[c]y seated [at the head of the tableau]

[cuck]holding her hair back over so[ciety’s]

-&-SOS toy[let]boy

 

it’s youtu[be] have the right to [free]dom

 

[don’t] M[M]S[L]N your way into junior or twins

or kindergarten cop[out with[out] your cock out]

 

[stop] whining to your wine [aunt] about wo[is]man

 

it’s [just] break [that] down to simp[ler times]

the 6th day Ad[ventist] demanding a total recall[ibration]

 

it’s time to innovate Ameri/can history XXX[X][State of the Union]

dis[card] the discord[ant] and [ethan] hawk your face off

 

just red bull your way into a red[pill]

October mo[u]rning [glory]

 

the [roman] empire strikes back

as a new [no] hope[less romantic]

 

it’s accost [a]walt [whitman] [anti-winter kid] in a supermarket[able jerry’s pizza]

 

it’s never take blue [steel] balls as an exit[music to a film]

 

it’s just [giga]bite the head off a [chad [michael]] murray basin project

e[strogen]lectric blue [collared] men watching you

 

it’s don’t swallow that iron[man]

 

it’s 4[chan have] the right to [free]dom [dom dom!]

 

the dark night[mare] rising like the [burst misandry] bubble[maker]

 

a promising young man buys a [basketball] diary

man[ifest]s a [fight] club on a sub[reddit]

 

runs for govern[at]or at [seven]eleven

assigns a woman as their [running] mate

 

you talking to me[mes]

 

multiple players spinning [pa]leo[masculinism]

it’s just[ice] to write a cook book [book book]

 

no one calls you a chicken [tonight]

[deto]note your fore[arm] fathers

[f]u[ck] the pilgrimage

 

it’s twit[ter] have the right to [free] dumb[ells]

 

it’s just lea[r]n to drive [a jet ski]

 

out here it’s the good[guy] bad[boy] ugly[omega]

the white knight rides a unicorn[i[can’t]copia with this]

 

[ab]out fe[moid]male form[aldehyde]

try [beta-]block[h]er[chains]

 

just grow a set[tler colony]
