On Selfishness and Indolence





Don't I love to be a slave to the inept attitudes
Don't I like to sit saddled on a wooden frame
                                   crouched within a world of my own

As the lights change colors on the use of the remote
                                    the dark solitude surrounds me
and I'm bound to my selfishness
the milkman straddles down to the door
                          I wait until the dawn settles within the confines
I gather myself in paces,the remote still hanging to my fingers
                      I'm ensconced in my dull, lethargic mass of flesh

where has the optimism of life withered
where did I loose the symptoms of acknowledgement
Are we not adding reason to the disbelief's

Did we pass the ram-shackled quarters in disdain?
Are we not supposed to look within?
                                    Have we deep within us lost the humaneness?
                                   Are we dour and indolent to the mass ineptitude?
Lest we think, let us forget and...

                              Let us watch the sunset and cuddle up once more in our oneness
                              let us loose the world outside to its grief and wanderings
                              let us create a nest of love and nothing but love
                              let us partake only in our own agonies and ecstasies

My withered wisdom has imparted me nothing today
another day of indolence and solitude does not surprise me
I've tasted the forbearing fruit of lazy boredom
it has its own delightful elegance ....
