(Today I was listening to Coltrane and when his version of "My Favorite Things" came on this poem popped in my head. Please don't put it to the "My Favorite Things" music because it is a copyrighted jazz standard and was also on the musical "The Sound of Music". This is inspired by the song and intended to be spoken word. I would love it if someone did a reading of this.)

hypocrites sitting up on their high horses

big business eating up all earth's resources

under the impression that their shit don't stink

these are a few of my least favorite things

wars over oil and religious difference

racism, sexism, and all of that ignorance

greedy dictators so callus and mean

these are a few of my least favorite things

abuse, neglect, hunger, and child prostitution

all of our cars and their massive pollution

people driving around when they've had too much to drink

These are a few of my least favorite things

when my day sucks

when I'm angry

when I am feeling sad

I simply remember my least favorite things

and I am grateful for what I have
