Humanity's Arrogance
Prepare for a speech
Go ahead, pull up your chair
I'm tired of living in this world
I am tired of this life
I'm tired of everything around me
I'm tired of opening the door
I'm tired of greeting my friends
I'm tired of logging in daily
To the sites I go to
Like listless chores, spring cleaning
Keeping them updated
I'm sick of seeing your face
I'm sick of hearing his voice
I'm sick of the lies you've fed me
I'm sick of the happiness I must
Somehow, somewhere build up
That only you can approve of
I'm fed up with the fact that
Whatever I want I can't have
In the dark, dreadful reality
There would only be laughs - scoffs
People throwing jeers at me
Disapproving heads sadly shaking
No no, I'm not allowed any of that
I can't wait to wake up
Just to tuck myself in, sleep!
I can't wait to disappear
Into the dreadfulness of death
I can't tell you how I dream
Of the day when my eyes
Held, pressed, together tightly
Never opens once more
I wake up for him
Why can't it be for me?
Before it was for Him
And after that, Her
Then the other him
Two more forgotten hims
And a her that's dead
Then there was Cat
Who always greeted me, meowing
Happiness to keep my afloat
A life that actually needed me
Like a deligent mother, I cared
Carefully looking after him, feeding
Playing with, talking to, training, raising
And together we were perfect, so perfect!
Then life stole his life away, when I needed him most
Let's not forget Dog
Who my parents gave away
Years washed away our trail together
But she was returned, by my kind sister
Once more mine - happines too true!
I would walk her, pet her, dematt her, hug her
I would feed her, train her, chase her, goof off
And then the greatest joy of all touched my heart
Then death came in silence, during daylight
And through the horror of a loved one's death
She herself died as well, soul departing
There are probably countless others,
I assure you, death and I are friends
Not a choice I made, mind you
Just the vistor who never truly leaves
And the sadness that piles up high
Within the dark weariness of my heart
But without a purpose and a plan
You're heading no where - so am I
I like it though, I'm not lying
Silently consoling myself in this world
Of a reality that I can never see
I can only 'believe' is there, too true
Forget that, I like my belief better
That we're nothing, mere magots or flies
Dogs, cats, fish, humans - all the same
Literally neither is better
We're only better, still!
Because we were born a human
Dogs would be better, still!
If we were born a dog instead
Don't stuff me with your lie
Don't tell me how we're superior
Have you ever been a Kangaroo?
Do know why it lives it's life
Exactly the life that they do?
But neither have I? Correct!
So I assume safely still
That neither is better, neither is worse
I won't know, why pretend I do?
So that I can feed myself a lie
And live in a falsely knitted sanity?
