Details About What We Are

What do we have here
It's the twenty-four impure hours
that precede this exact moment
in which we realize that the past day
once again had no qualities
and it was just and again
the amorphous happening of empty facts
repeating the constant tonic
of the previous countless hours
in which our accounting demonstrated
that is not only wild
but also cruel in the essence of its meaning
because the extract of everything is a gigantic nothing
that accumulated formats what we are:
the tasteless layers of recurring thoughts
the monotonous routine of deficient organisms
the outlandish bet on a losing run
the unnecessary accumulation of obsolete items
the incessant search for the essential but non-existent
logical sense to our incoherent lives.

Such pessimism, my dear writer friend! Almost as self-deprecating as a small bet on a winning run! Good stuff.

It is an ancient poem, expressing a totally negative point of view towards the past and the future. I have a facebook page totally dedicated to morbid and pessimistic poems, lol lol lol. There is another, whose name is A HAPPY DAY, with exact opposite texts.
