Apex Predator
Shit, fuck a lion
it's the falcons, eagles and owls I look up too
they are so high up in the air,
nothing can hunt them, except Man if he wants
but people admire the lions for their predatory skills
I do to,
but old lions die so hard,
the younger one's take them out on the ground
as they grow grey,
and that is so sad for me
eagles, and hawks and owls die a lone
they hunt a lone, they only get to together to mate
and that seems about right to me
a strange idea coming from a human being.

No meaning
Life doesn't have to have a meaning for me
most people search for meaning, and purpose
for me life is fine as it is,
I don't need a higher purpose, or a lofty to goal
when i step outside i see great meaning all around me
I don't need to suffer to find meaning
I'm never thinking of the struggle or some test
there is meaning all around,
I do struggle with senselessness though
the fact that TIME is being wasting upon me
or I'm wasting it for a dollar bill,
BUT can I do?
what can anyone do?

The Clash
Dog against cat
cat against mouse
order against chaos
man against women
man against man
mammal against insect
person against the universe
youth versus aging
life against death
the sunny day against the overcast clouds
work against leisure
things fight and clash greatly against each other
things that can be perceived and those that can not
through the our senses
no good or evil
the uptight against the loose
the clash light, material, sound and shapes
motion and physics of the thing
the chemistry of life
energy not being killed only changing it's form
existence and non existence
I know that life exists, but does death exists?
Social Media
There is a desire to be
somewhere else,
as we get on our phones, or there is a desire to be
many places at once, to want too many things at one time
but your body can only be in one place,
and we are so limited in that way
we can pick between thousands of roads in the fork,
but we can only pick one road, and we usually don't
like the road that we picked.
we picked the wrong road!!!
our time is Finite on this earth, or that is the perception
so we feel as if we are missing out on something
and maybe we are,
or maybe we don't
i don't preach anything
and nothing can control desires and ambitions
for long

anxiety
It's coming for you,
fear, fear, fear
the worst you expect, it always there,
even when you are having a good time
it is always
whats going to happen next, I try to live
but living while working is damned near impossible
have you tried it?
well there is that fear of missing out, always missing out
we worry about, cancer, HIV and all things, autoimmune disorders
it's crazy the life, the dirty game that is played
fear and anxiety
don't ask about drugs and the addicted
it's there as we fear are final breath,
well most of us anyway.
The Box
Is the place you are in
I feel like i am in the box,
the more people in the box, the greater the suffocation,
Saturday night and the police officers all around
for the working class, and all week their lives have been closed
in up somewhere
I read a sign on the highway that says, Buzzed Driving is The Same Thing as Drunk Driving
Like really?
There's a huge difference between being drunk and being sober
Well it seems like they should close the bars down, even though liquor is legal
if they are going to give out DUI'S
remember the prohibition? and how well that worked?
our modern world turns people into addicts of anything
well most people lives are terribly dull and boring
and that makes me very sad
and makes for a sad poem
like this one
