Poem #432 for Anonymous

 

It all seems to just exist for me

I am inclined to do the positive thing
yet still I find more and more humor in
all of these people taking
purpose
far too seriously

Why the need for only one structure in the world?

I understand our species is drawn to order,
as all life is that lives under natural law
but
why so insistent on being original?

To exist is to savor
the perfectly content relaxation
of being alive
following the flow of energy;
the concept of nature
all that is expected of us
If I want to eat, I eat
If I want to wander and get lost, I walk
If I want to work, I work
If I want to create, I create

In the news
there is so much that is negative
oil spills and war
repetitive
but
should I care?
should I not take it seriously?

I am trying to rid the shackles that bind me
consumed with sacrificing my comforts
perhaps
to understand
perhaps as a reminder
of what my comforts have contributed to the world

My awareness does not make me feel better anymore
does not make me feel like I am doing something good
anymore
It all feels like false interest
to give a reason to something
I feel simply and purposefully just exists, only…

to be con’t
