Obsession
I wonder how important are you
if you're being watched over
day and night by tens of pairs of eyes.
Are you a jewel with incomparable value
or are they just dumb to waste time on you?
What if they just sign you a contract
and pay you millions,
so everytime you poop,
you get it recorded for them?
Would that quell their obsession towards you?
Or what if you just let them lick your ___
to satisfy their obsession, or let them
taste your ___?
I should not be saying this but it seems that
there are people who got the obsession of
sticking their finger to where
It does not belong even if
their profit does not justify the cost.
It's like staying awake overnight
on your motorcycle for a dose of alcohol
or a flattery recognition which really
has no currency value or bearing
in your real life.
In the long run, when you're awaken
from your fantasy,
you'll realize that the world around you
has already evolved ten times
faster than your forward movement.
The most foolish part is that
you even give your best for something
that you can't even understand
like criticizing the message
in a bulky book that you did not even read,
not even for once, or had a glance at its foreword.
