PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The paradox of life,

having to be

by not being,

having to pretend,

shutting off your desire,

becoming just another liar

So much effort 

for so little reward,

Life is not a box of chocolates,

you know what your going to get

I am a machine

there is no room for no greed

Slave away

for a comfy bed,

slave away

for a minimum wage,

I am a machine,

I was born to die,

I am machine,

I tell myself the lie
