Worthless ~ Wednesday, 9 January 2019

Like this world, or this life, makes any sense at all, 
it's total malarkey, chickens running around, 
killed already, heads cut off, rush to no purpose, 
evidence the body seeks the will to survive, 

the whole point of being alive is to enjoy 
humanity in all its splendor, endeavour, 
if we act like chickens, we are as good as dead, 
still we rush toward death as if towards success, 

wonders never cease, so we speak in platitudes, 
ordinary speech makes the time go by faster, 
reservations to wait for a table for two, 
little wonder the world doesn't just disappear, 
disappointment around every corner, to win 

or lose matters little, rich and poor know the score, 
real world symphonic sound, the cosmic elements, 

take your time, the bus waits for nobody but God, 
help is just three buttons away, you just need ask, 
in this world, encounter everyone on ladders, 
seeking a better life, never happy like fools, 

little worthwhile to gain or obtain, happiness 
is only worth your while for a fleeting moment, 
fortunately, this world has got your back, sorrow 
eventually follows, property turns to dust, 

monsters abound in masks just like normal people, 
answers to the horrors of our humanity, 
kiss or kill, love parades its hatred of others, 
enter the abhorrent vacuum of our nature, 
simplicity makes things complex, hard to follow, 

as we grow older, age grants wisdom to ignore, 
nothing to seek but bliss, the folly of madness, 
yesterday, we were kids, but tomorrow, we're stiffs, 

sugar is sweet, the blues pours slow like molasses, 
empty the jar to start again, start all over, 
nothing much to worry about, just buy some more, 
sugar comes cheap, just like bottom shelf alcohol, 
everyone thinks they know better, until they're dead, 

ascertain the reason we're hooked on licit drugs, 
the government only cares about Schedule I, 

all the rest, nicotine, and other quick fixes, 
legal to everyone to grow old, sick and die, 
legal tender, cold cash for Congress to shut down.
