A Complete Lack of Imagination

S/HE who walks with contempt S/HE who creates nothing but criticizes everything S/HE who waits in a hole, oh so comfortable, hoping that it will stay that way forever S/HE who swears allegiance to others in desperate hope to save themselves S/HE who reduces the life they have to the almighty dollar (production, consumption, production consumption) S/HE who strives to become immaculate (smoother skin, finer hair, thinner, trimmer, bigger muscles) S/HE who steps upon others to get to the top S/HE whose head twists at the paranoid rapid speed of a little bird in the wild (always on the lookout for predators) S/HE who makes plans thinking always that they are one step ahead of the rest of us S/HE who has been out of touch with the place that they came from for so long now that it seems that person has disappeared S/HE who holds a complete lack of imagination.
