If The World Just Burned

If the world burned  
I wouldn't be too sad 
Afraid of the abyss 
But definitely just fine 
I have nothing  to cling on too much 
A lover, couple parents and 
Some family really not that much 
Maybe my dog 
I admire her so much
My life was lost long a go
And my purse has never had two coins
a purple patch 
I am struggling to keep up 
with the petiness  pretences 
and self importance 
I am supposed to imposse
on my self just to make sense 
seem human  seem like I am doing stuff 
With some experiences '
That I dont think matter much 
and an education that I am not allowed 
to use If I do not match 
with corporate culture 
made to mask toxic matter 
In that environment 
Made for machines and proud workers
Emotionally intelligent assholes 
Who slit throats just too be told good work
By some sad people who 
Do all that to have the little assholes  telll them
Great work 
So that they can believe it themselves 
and pat their own backs
They do all that to stave off that fact 
That we are all human 
All special '
meaning that no one is that special
makes  us  equally just stuck 
In their time marching towards 
a  dirt patch 
Comforted by narratives
That have heroes, villains allies, dukes machines  and purpose 
But none of us ever do much 
Because at the end of time 
we were just stardust drifting in an ininite cosmos 
That is also  anxious about its lack of purpose 
So no I would not be too sad 
If the world just burned

I'm beginning to see where the real problem lies: you. You say you have a lover, parents, family, a dog, but yet none of that is worth clinging onto? Time to wake up Moses and appreciate the things we do have, not what we don't

@Woody, I know but that is not the moral of the story now is it? Just feeling jaded. Ihave to write for the bad feelings to die on paper instead of me.
