A Modest Proposal

A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. The essay suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocked heartless attitudes towards the poor, predominately Irish Catholic (i.e., "Papists") as well as British policy toward the Irish in general. In English writing, the phrase "a modest proposal" is now conventionally an allusion to this style of straight-faced satire. more »

Temptations
Running around in my head
Surrounded by people who wish they were dead
All over all of the simplest of things
I can’t believe it
Every word is an act of
Encouragement
Not temporary
Just permanent
Honestly I wish I wasn’t
So apologetic
When everything and everyone is
So damn pathetic
What will it take to make you realize
What you’re saying
Must I be a living example of what
You’re contemplating
I’m so sick
Of all of these reminders
Of who I am
And who I don’t wanna be
They think it’s funny
But that is really
How I feel
I don’t even know
What’s even real
Not temporary
Just permanent
Honestly I wish I wasn’t
So apologetic
When everything and everyone is
So damn pathetic
What will it take to make you realize
What you’re saying
Must I be a living example of what
You are contemplating
And I’ll say
Don’t worry
And I’ll say
Don’t worry now
I’m fine
But I’ll never be just right
You’re the archetype
Honestly I wish I wasn’t
So apologetic
When everything and everyone is
So damn pathetic
What will it take to make you realize
What you’re saying
Must I be a living example of what
You’re contemplating
Not temporary
Not temporary
Not temporary
Just permanent
