Dumb
Here comes old Jer’
Ringing the parlor with his tricks,
Sayin’ the right words,
Doin’ the right things,
All in an attempt,
To be seen as human.
Only the Good Writers Hate Themselves
It seems to me,
That the most genius
And the most wise,
Are often the most mad.
As the only difference
Between madness and genius,
Is sinking
Or swimming.
T.S Elliot Was a Psychic Poet
When you go to get your
Filthy, deep-fried slop
At your local McDonalds
You don’t look at the person
Behind the cash-register,
As a human being.
With thoughts,
Emotions,
Desires,
Ambitions,
Friends,
Family.
No, they’re the
Underpaid teen
Who gives you your
Fucking food.
When you work
At the seedy 7/11
Where the homeless
Give out handjobs
For five dollars each,
You don’t look at
The customers
As humans beings
With jobs too,
With children,
With stressors,
With needs,
Or with soul.
No, they’re only
Consumers to you.
That you’ll never see
Again.
There’s truly something
Wrong with a society,
When the common man and woman
Is just another cog
In the factory gears.
And we all think that
That’s okay.
A Great Mind
A great mind breaks,
From the pressure
It is under.
A great mind snaps,
From the fakeness,
From the fodder.
i just want something real to happen
the simple truth is
i want something real to happen
i want to people to listen
Not just wait their turn to talk
i want people to feel
not just pretend
i want humans
to be humans again
