Pressure and stress
from outside sources,
political correctness
this culture enforces.
What's up is down
and what's down is up
We rush through life
we blindly fill our cup
With empty promises
made to ourselves
with worthless trophies
we fill our shelves.
We wander helplessly
intent on our path
our cup of aimlessness
overflows with wrath.
Ever hungry, never full
souls of cannibalization
blindly we wander empty
insanity is our destination.

To start thanks for entering. Now i wasn't sure that i would like pre-writes for the quote but i must say i liked how it fit, it kept me reading. Overall it's an excellent piece, it flowed nicely it had a nice little rhyme to it. this was just well written good luck

I really liked the idea behind your poem. It was well expressed and your flow was pretty good the whole way through. The last line of the fourth stanza was the only one I thought didn't flow quite right. Good job!

I really don't know what to say. This was a nice take on the prompt. I don't think that insanity is our destination but still that seems the road than many seem to be taking. Thank you for the entry.
