Absurdism & Work

Absurdism & Work

A Chapter by Zolly

Absurdism

Everything is absurd 

I thought I would find joy in the process of grinding my gears and making my way to the top 

And I don’t want to do that because geniuses get praised not the hardworking 

Because the hardworking won’t get nothing in their names on books except their wills

I find work tedious 

I am lazy and for a reason

I think of myself grinding hard and working and then I get anxious 

Because what’s the point?

After making all the money in the world you still die

After your parents say I want you to be successful after I die but who knows if they can spy

I want to be successful after I die because at least that’s promised.

Everything I see is shortened to a waste of time or short lived 

A marriage? Give that 10 years before love becomes conditional

Same with kids, money, and friends 

Pleasures?

Like sex and drugs and alcohol and the “nightlife”

The “We only live once” folks 

I mean sure I get it but I don’t want to live like a murderer on a tightrope

The only reason why I am living is because my body hasn’t died yet.

It’s still breathing, still asking for food, still needing water, still asking for more.

You know it’s absurd how we can continue living in this world

Where humans live like their superior to birds .

I wish I was on Mars

Because at least I don’t have to listen anymore.
