In The Nations Of Plenty

My hunger is not for sustenance
It’s the hunger to cease
That niggling feeling of boredom
Yet inevitably whiling the hours away.
As nations coalesce over monetary crises
And thousands taste the bitterness of poverty,
Just contrast the first world with the third -
Does it bring lasting comfort?
The incessant drive of industry, coddled by bureaucracy.
What a sheltered existence comparatively to some of humanity.
Never would I entertain a role reversal, too content with complacency..
Ignoring all the things I have that they never will.
Obsessively considering first world issues
Enveloping self absorption, blinding self pity,
Perspective doesn’t get much of a chance.
A species transposed into indignant pissants.

Strange lands
Your life in stranger’s hands
But it's more than your own now
You’re too selfish to think about it
There’s no second coming, it’s all such a waste
Your destiny is flawed
Regain your focus
Put faith in what's real
Take control of your existence
Or is it planned out by a voice in your head?
You’ll never know your own mind
Delusion, you’re so confused and I can't escape it
These walls will confine.
With self-obsession and blind devotion you’ll get nowhere (you’re going nowhere)
So narrow-minded and adrift inside passages of scriptures (you’re contradicting)
Brainwashed.
I’ll never understand
Too much water under the bridge now.
There is no turning back.
You’ve left your family behind you
Confused and in the dark
Your lies may tempt them away
Doctrine of scorn leading astray
I’ll never understand

Manifest Reality

With each glance, it’s the same despite the years
Averted gaze as you walk away
The reality so hard to bare - Nothing fucking matters.
Panic grips with pins and needles, could this be the nadir?
Another wreck of a man, born of a wreck of a man
Who shunned it all, now shut away from the world.
Reverrent through nurture,
Commanded by fear.
What is and was are trivial
Life is indiscriminate
Not conscious, no conscience.
Bereft of emotion, devoid of thought.
Always knowing, we are waiting
For a universal truth of life,
For that last thought.
Always knowing, we are waiting
For that last thought.
