SweetLikeRainy Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Have you lived Or have you simply come to be? Transpire with tenderness and fortitude- Oh, child’s innocent art. Plainly to be denuded of these innocents. Enervated. A being with no heart- Have you located the spark that lights your life? The warmth that satisfies baltic nights, Or have you been treading through a dark sea Of creatures; vultures and saprophytes? These creatures who consume your life The bills, the grades, the long-spun laboring days, Do not let these creatures devastate you. Are you alive, Or are you solely breathing? Your humanity depleting Navigating life In the shell of someone, you’ve never actually known. Can you sense the tautness that encompasses your life? Obtaining this state will get you nowhere, When you’re walking into deadman’s land. Ingenuity confined, replaced with machine. To serve pockets of the men of means. They sit in solitary stockades from 9-5 To study and transcribe their entire lives. Receiving calls, each monotone, Abrupt words and tiresome tones Then work right into overtime. Deadman walking… Nevermore alive. Is this life? Where we work- We work from dawn to dusk. Ignore those who try and ground us. We drift amidst in this realm of want. Insouciant. We are again misplaced in this black sea. This sea of serpents and sharks Disguised as supervisors and staff who inveigle their ways in to thieve superior paths Intellects beguiled via solipsism Bloodthirsty- We compete with the vicious to grow victorious. Except, in success, who now is the adversary? Who now patrols the obscure waters With avarice and with hunger? In this world exclusively to compete. This deadman- This beast- He becomes you and me. - r☔️ One of my favorites🤗 1
