the revolution of selfpampering ideas


venus777

Recommended Posts

I'm off beat with

The harmony

Of the earth tones

The silence of

Garbled electronic noise

Transmits voices

Of anger lust anguish

Guttural utterances of

Our animalistic urges

I'm out of breath

Out of reason

To get out of bed

I feel the weight

Of self incrimination

For lack of power

To stop the machine

From widespread murder

Women raped

Their limbs chopped

Til they are unidentifiable

Children sold

Into sex trade slavery

Men forced to fight

For corporate greed

Their families will receive

Hardly an apology for

The PTSD and blown up bodies

And I just talk

While eating vegan cookies

Organic and dairy free

And the sound of my voice

Annoys me

All I do

Is go on and on

Bout things we all know

Intuitively

I am immobilized

Part of me

Wants to give away my all

Part of me

Wants to hourd it all

Guiltily

Barely hanging on

To financial security

It'd be easy

To slide back into poverty

I don't want upward mobility

I just want world peace

(like Miss America)

But the system

Is paralyzing

Who am I

Reeally?

Swept away

I try to offer myself up

My entirety

But selfishly

Hold on to parts of me

Wanting to stow myself away

In the recesses of loves embrace

And have a family

It seems

At times

Contradictory

The impossibility

Of living ethically

Makes my mind revolve

The same ideas perpetually

Calmness of mind

Achievable they say

By meditation

In all the motions of the day

In the mountains far away

From discordant voices

But one can not have

Peace while life forms scream

As isolated as you may be

From society
