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.
