Davorin Pasovic Poet Free verse

No one will believe you existed

Stop pretending to be something that you are not
be someone that you are dreaming of
stop stealing my poetry or someone's life story
come up with your own find the experience
stop kissing ass because you believe it might change 
your life or put food on the table just starve be real
 look for food in containers and behind closed restaurants
see the disrespect that these people u rub on every day
in the subway on the way to work they don't see you
 or your pain, the only thing is money that counts
your home isn't yours but banks till you die
your land your children's playground sits on
will never be yours because government owns you
eat that food from the dumpsters, it might cure your brain
bring sense of reality into your life, nothing is real
but what you believe it to be, nothing moves
but your life before your eyes, you are gone
 after you there is only your clothes, and your bills
wake up and don't fall asleep, but if you do
no one will believe you existed.
