Evolution (part one of two)

The mean sky of green clouds
is nothing more than the sweet sounds
of downtown Baltimore under a threatened shroud -
society coffin bound.

A simple solution to diffuse such illusions
is to abuse the mind and define such confusion;
A potion to open the oceans of design
and redefine the tide breaking in the mind.

Now, mind to mention enigmatic dimensions:
the city of lights' downward descension,
a harbor of the night riding waves of intentions -
Heaven of Hollywood without any ascension.

At first was the Earth before man began his search,
now the Earth under a curse has meaning falling terse.
To make the best out of the worst anytime you're feeling hurt
is to cut your wrists in disbelief and dust into the dirt.


The last verse here I just added on today, and while it is disgustingly cynical, hopeless, and depressing I find it both quite humorous and sadly realistic - not that I am laughing at the weakness of those who commit suicide, but, continuing with the sarcastic tone throughout the poem, I am poking fun at the pointlessness of suicide. Just as I am with Hollywood and America's devotion to Hollywood. Just as I am in the second stanza with drugs - particulary heroin. Yes, we all know what heroin can do for an artistic mind, and I wish all those anti-drug zealots would recognize this, and although I thoroughly enjoyed for the greater portion of the last 6 years being inebriated to the fullest extent of my mind's, or the drug's, capability, I strongly believe that hiding behind drugs or anything else for that matter - sitcoms, video games, sex - is pathetic, and the man who cannot confront his own reality, accept his own mortality, and question the endless possibilities of a spiritualiy is not a man at all, but rather a coward. Also known as 99% of people living in the world today.

Sorry for the little tangent there, but let's face it, our society is drowning under a waterfall of absolute misguidance - from our viewing of Oil and Hollywood as God's to our addiction to money and power - from our complete hypocrisy regarding our beliefs. Because, people, seriously, we can believe in something all we want but until we live those beliefs, morals, and ethics through our actions we believe in nothing. I'm sick and fucking tired of hearing overzealous Christians telling me how to live my life when I know that they (not mentioning any names here) get off work, get slammed, fuck bitches, get into fights, are racist, and support this ass-backwards war. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised if people are a little lost; I mean, our president - the most famous Christian in America - completely ignored one of the most essential fundamental Christian beliefs - forgiveness. Maybe politics and religion don't fit together, but I think he should make it clear that God does not give 2 shits about democracy.
