a sick child is not a punchline

one day
we all wake up
to see the hells
we so readily
created

and faced with
the consequences
of our own actions
some will still
do everything possible
to shift the blame
unwilling to accept
the part they played

doomed to repeat
the cyclical destruction
somehow shocked when
every relationship
ends the same way

building these
recursive hellscapes
block by block
until everyone
ends up blocked
