I Guess I’ll Just Write Poetry

Watercolor painting

I guess I’ll just write poetry

Don’t know what else to do

The world is only dragging me

Into the ocean blue

The depths that I’m afraid of

I don’t fear nothin’ else

It’s taxing to be living

In a world that’s full of wealth

That no one really needs

Greed is never-ending

Resources are a godsend

But hoarding them is sinning.

I can’t be fucking entertained

Can’t even read books

Unless they give me knowledge

That others have forsook

Novels now just bore me

I notice every flaw

Reality is hard to buy

But fiction is guffaw

I can’t even read Tolkien

His tales don’t entertain

There’s so much there that don’t make sense

I’d rather fill my brain

With knowledge of the ancients

When people weren’t so dumb

This world has gone to shit

I wish I could be numb

(Art is mine)
