Evolution
Deviant behaviour of a caged mind
Role reversal of society
The pen was once mightier than the sword
Where is all the ink?
Common conception of ignorant bliss
Idiocy greater than the brain
Those who know, know what is needed?
Organic vegetables?
Trapped little bird, desperate to fly
Mozart working telesales in 200 years
Vogue magazine for those who don't matter
Medication for those who do
Get in line! Wear your suits!
The rats are on the starting line
Independence is a ringtone bought
Hows your four by four?
So this is life, this is fun?
Apathy is the new black
Armani styled suicide scars
I'll take mine in blue
Hey David,
I can imagine a modern day mozart daydreaming in his cubicle.
Great poem - reminded me of one i wrote called Modern Life
Really enjoyed this poem especially the first and last stanzas. The first sort of has this feeling of helplessness to me. Finding out for the first time that life isnt what you've been promised. And the ending, to me reminds me of all the teen girls today who wear thier scars as a fasion statement (oh look at me I'm so deppressed) but also sort of has this deep feeling that all of us are hurting. I'm sure I'm reading everything into this, but that IS what I love most about art- its subjectivity.
lol, great poem. nice flow and unique style of words. i really like that line about "the pen mightier than the sword but where's the ink!"
you will do great if you keep up the good work!
thnx for writing such a great poem,
Lizzi
