I am tired of ranting
tired of same old same
my voice grows hoarse
but nothing changes
is there anybody out there?
is there anyone in here?
is there any sanity left?
it seems missing in me
it is time for me to stop
trying to make sense
of things around me
before I find dispair
it seems all reason has fled
taking common sense too
leaving only selfish greed
growing to encompass all
what happens to us next
when only me now matters?
living in the moment
hedonism run amok
the instant gratification
seeking satisfaction for me
always pleasure for self
and damning all the rest
I am tired of the foot
kicking folks that fall
only so they lay still
to be used as a stair
have we outgrown it
the sense of clan, of WE
has ME become the all
that drives humanity?
if so then whats the use
why continue the fight
to bring community back?
I am feeling very tired....
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
Every feeling we have leads to the next one.
