oxy-moronic societal outcry.

and we're killing ourselves slowly.
eating too much or too little,
becoming obese,
or anorexic,
or diabetic.
we're declaring ourself unaccepted in an accepting population
and screaming into the crowd that we need silence.
we're declaring ourself individuals, until there are too many
individuals to be unified.

we're ignoring our society and holding functional ones at gunpoint
to change them to how we are. to conform them
to our nonconforming society.

slowly we're gouging out the eyes of our culture,
leaving it scratched and dirty,
but worst of all,
blind.

segrated,
conformed,
existentially divided in the fall.

Please tell me what you think

    Ah, good ol' society. Does it take a blind man to see in this world? Yes. We're so fucking ignorant and we are clay. We mould so damn easily. The beginning is true, you know, diseases ... they are like the new fashion. We wear it like a crown. You have the stereotypical people that don't shut the hell up. You have monsters in charge showing us where to sign our life away. People who shout if you're not fat, you're too skinny ... if you're not rich, you're fucking dirt poor. It's insane the world we live in. But I'm blabbering on. You get me talking about society I'll go on forever. We are slowly scratching each others eyes out for the mere pleasure of being bigger than someone else and thinking it makes us feel good. This is our evolution - we have evolved into the animals that we are. Mindless senseless motherfuckers who are greedy and hungry for meat. If that meat is under the flesh of another human being, well so be it. I want the top and the top I shall have. If the top means the top gun in a corporation or the bad boss in my own secret mob - I will get there no matter what. Stepping on others is my forte! Changing the world to think like me is my mission and we will all bow down to guns, violence, war, and the new sexual revolution that I have created because I am god. That's people for you - idiots and completely blind to what life is and what the world is for. This probably has nothing to do with what you were thinking of but yeah, like I said, I ramble on when I start talking about society.

    great poem Sara, it really screams out about what society is coming to. As always, you really know how to express this.

    One of the reasons I've become so fond of your work is because you always speak the truth. No fabrications or fantasy. You're a voice for those struggling with ED.
