: rhetorical :

are you seriously happy
with how this all went down
with how this all turned out
with life, in general

are you seriously happy
with your actions
with mine
with the way life has treated you
and you've treated me

are you seriously happy
with the negative energy
you hypocritically instigate
project and cultivate
persist and perpetuate

are you seriously happy
with the knowledge that
the world will inevitably turn
and with it
the tables
and that my inconvenience
will eventually become yours

every hour wounds
the rest is obvious
the world learns this lesson
while you ignore and complain
and place the blame
