Kitch

I feel like Nietzsche watching the horse get beat
As the sophistic professor explains why a heartfelt poem is bad.
He contrasts it with a cliche poem found on WordPress,
Over 10,000 times I've seen that tone...
Yet, the heartfelt expression of love...
That is bad.

As in to say, "Feel no good thing
"But suffer in this life.
"That is your portion;
"To have all joy removed
"And only filthy pain
"And even in your sex
"It is to be so...
"All love gone, all peace...
"For it is kitsch."

Yet if I could bottle just one emotion
I'd bottle the poem he said was bad.
That's just me...
To me, that's deeper anyway
One who retained their joy in this horribly abusive world.
