The Human Condition
The human condition, a poem
Just me putting words on a screen again.. don't read into it too much; or do

Half alive, stark naked and cold
You bet you wish you'd paid attention
To all the stories of old
Stamped out of tradition
The human condition,
Try all you like but blind eyes don't see media omissions
The world moves so fast it's so hard to keep up
So much bull, piss in a cup
Everyone has their say
Everyone needs to have their way
The problem comes fast when the morals are old
You won't find my best works, with my face on the cover
Despite the fact I'm not one to hide under covers
I let them think what they believe
I believe they can think
Only problem is, we've poisoned the drink
The well ran dry long ago, so the poison there is gone
But the effects it had, well people can be bold..
Poet, prophet, liar or martyr;
It's all just words in the end
Just dont call me the one who's insane,
When we're all going around a bend

Jack of all trades, master of metaphysical
My brain works in a strange way, I pick up on the subliminal..
I was never good with words, because my brain doesn't use them
Something about a spectrum
But I like to think it's useful
To some I'm criminal, to others I'm a lost cause
But once first impressions settle, maybe just take a pause
It's easy to throw stones, through the windows of glass houses
You can build up your throne, but what gives you power?
Free will is a blessing, and tragic all at once
Because we are so used to being told what to do
We forgot to think about us.
I don't know why I waste my time; but then I wonder if its ever wasted
Just take the bad with the good
I know I can taste it
