Poetry

Arguments are universal.

Opinions can be dividing.

Smarten up your conversation.

Or leave the party entirely.

No one wins when all we do is talk.

What happens to the world when someone finally wins their point?

To live forever.

Immortality is a joke.

Beautiful and thin.

Genetics can be cruel.

Famous and adored.

Stalkers don’t need excuses.

Money the world over.

Billionaires are greedy.

Political equality.

Politics suck.

Gender acceptance.

Biases are not forgiven.

Belief in religion.

Science gives us answers.

Faith is a good thing

but only if you remember why you have it.

The world is better

when people make it better.

Disappointed.

I lacked the most crucial thing

which in other times was merely a courtesy.

When will I learn to be more prepared

so I do not have to have this hollow feeling inside?

Are we the only intelligent species

Can we teach others to think for themselves

Must we be so egotistical

There is more to life than we think

Imagination is not the only trait

Buttering up the new robot overlords

Adventure sounds like fun.

Experiencing things would feel great.

Except I am a homebody

who likes to sit on the couch and watch it all instead.

Hide.

Keep your head down.

Look away.

Do not see.

Be invisible.

Hopefully you won’t be noticed.

Until it is your turn to be the victim.

Good for the roughage.

Healthy and vibrant.

Colourful and boring.

Best with a dressing.

The only thing that calms my heartburn with out the antacids.

Life is uncertain.

I can not expect to get what I want

without putting in the hard work.

I know I have a good chance

but anything might derail my mission.

So, I continue on

doing the job of searching for my potential

knowing one day

I will find it.

Eggshells to walk on.

Mouth carefully forming words.

Emotions to be regulated.

Ones not your own.

Why must I be the one to stay quiet.

Can we talk about this.

I can be patient.

But my time is not unlimited.

Stories are based on truth.

Some are embellished.

Others repeated word for word.

Ideas form.

Nothing new.

Merely a new way to do something.

That is when people laugh and exile you.

Still do not give up.

Life wins the majority of liability cases.
