spare me

spare me the fools.
the talkers.
the liars.
the manipulators.
I have no room for them
in my life
anymore.
the pretenders,
the sick of heart,
the sick of mind.
the zealots,
the religious right.
the do gooders,
the kneelers
and cheaters. keep
them all away from me,
out of mind, out
of sight.
they charm you with
a smile, and stab
you in the back
when the timing is right.
