Beige
Are you beige?
Do you speak with the rest?
words with no validity,
just like froth in the wind.
Do you copy and try to emulate your neighbour
to prove and justify who you are,
by getting a big car .
Do you dislike individuality?
those who wear outlandish clothes,
who think ,to you,crazy thoughts,
Are your opinions always the right ones?
and everyone else is wrong.
do you understand
that not all are the same?
Does your life have to be neat and tidy?
All in its place.
Or do you love the wild woods
with all its inhabitants .
Do you dislike messy things?
like seagulls who dive and bomb
while protecting their young.
Do you think that all should be killed?
Like those who oppose
those who shout and scream at injustice.
Are you a religious person?
understanding not the words anew,
watching the poor
succumb and die through lack of funds.
It has been written
That after being blessed in turn you bless
those who need help.
What is profit to you?
at what cost money in an unsafe bank
Big dwelling that you dont really need.
Are you more worthy ?
than others in this world
self entitled than your fellows.
Are you beige ?
like all the rest suburban automatons
all dancing to mechanical tunes.
