Poem Title:
Poem
Insatiable thirst and hunger A bottomless materialistic pit Always something for nothing Prop your feet up; you’re the shit Narcissist lazy behavior Spoiled childish attitude Snowflakes; everybody’s a winner Except for people like me and you They want it all Dedicated to useless social tasks Judgmental of others Sluggish and fat Passion for wealth Absence of worth Fickleness nature Self-esteem at its worst No goals intended Overwhelmed and tired False-self dominates Tranquility expires Choked by emotions Drowning in desires Wicked ambitions Self-indulgence on fire Lost in luxuries Blinded by hope Delusions of adequacy Tempered by dope Literary studies Lost thing of the past The perception of knowledge Builds up real fast Enthusiasm for fame Appeal to pointless facts We’re creating an illusionary world We may never get back Chasing a fictitious image A nightmarish dream comes true Delusions of adequacy Creates a facade of virtue The traditional view The path to acquire Loaded with debt Bankrupt with desire Our culture is afflicted Materialism grabs hold Misguided expectations Hedonic treadmill creates a black hole History has tried to teach us The pains had no effect No lessons learned in life The cards dealt shows a slow death The comfort of emotions The greediness starts to blend Before we become aware Here we go again Funny, how ironic Human nature can be Blind drives of biology Now a destructive quality New desires will take place Old compulsions will disappear Life will be driven By the avoidance of new fears A new set of beliefs A new course in life Is really what’s needed For autonomy in our life Acknowledge our predicament Self-respect matters most Virtue and honor Is what I hope and propose This generation Can change what’s been done We're in this together We're in this as one Selfless Productive Compassionate Clarity of mind Sin Greed And gluttony Pass away all in due time The past tells a story Opportunity to understand; to know Everything that has happened in life Was necessary for our growth
