why?

what's there to get up for?

what the hell is waiting for me

in this over automated hyper sexualized existence rooted deep in the

stinking palm of the almighty dollar

retail excesses and credit card gods


what's the hell's to get up for?

besides yesterday i was fired from Inkjet Island

and I wonder now

 

why that matters ...and

i wonder if there is anything in the fridge to eat because

...man am i hungry

but i don't feel like moving soooo.....



what's there to get up for anyway?


nothing out there is good to eat these days anyways

 

it's an ecoli ridden diseased encrusted genetically altered existence rooted

 

deep in the stinking palm of the almighty dollar ...


made up of trade and of slaves wandering to their graves and dropping like

 

flies as they go ...



what the hell's there to get up for anyways?

    How many people come out with the same thoughts and statements? This piece is so very true. I can feel your frustration and deep despair at the monotony of life. It really comes through. Well done, keep writing.

    Very nicely said, I'll get up for Taco Bell if the fridge is empty and I'm hungry. But that's only because it's a block away. Well done, best of luck... Scott

    Bleak and hopeless, like a sour soul contemplating suicide. A feeling most of us have shared at one time or another.

    A very well expressed rant of a poem!!!!!! and a question to ponder.

    I am not getting bible on you but Soloman refered to this life as a waste


    in his later years he pondered the worth of riches

    to me wealth is like a syrupy chocolite

    it does not take long till one is sick with satiation

    i loved your poem!
