The allergic truth

I get these epiphanies,
Attacks like allergies,
Hay fever from non-believers, then I sneeze,
"Bless yous" from crews reluctantly agree,
Eyes closed when it flows,
Like foreign objects propelled from my nose,
Infectious knowledge mists in the form of particles,
Not meant to hold, but to share,
From here to there,
Everywhere, but nobody cares - static,
More concerned with nigg-a-rolls slangin' rigamarole - tragic,
Tabloid noise pays a handsome salary,
The truth is boring and ugly - reality,
Flash in the pan,
Predictable news is like the weatherman,
Paying hundreds for basketball shoes, but they ain't even leather man?
