severely mistaken

for what are you to blame

born into this world as a mere mistake

just as i

as a product of evolution, an accidental meeting of

sperm & egg

where only one of the 50-300 million sperm pumped out in one steamy moment

need connect with an egg

in order to promote the opportunity

should our 21^st century woman decide on her own

that it is in her best interest to go through with it

to drag another life into this place &

watch it struggle, like the proverbial flower trying to creep its way up through the

sidewalk crack

scratching its stems all the way

screaming & hoping for one more glimpse of the sun

whilst the rain, snow & street sewage beats down upon it,

doing everything in its destructive glory

to take another life in the name of

complete & utter nothingness,

so that just as meaningless as its entrance was,

so shall its exit be?

 

anyone who claims that a responsibility to this place

comes from the very instance of our birth is severely mistaken,

for you & i hold no intrinsic “moral code”

or reverence for a “god” or “state,”

as all were preposterous illusions decided upon well before we were dragged into this place,

so that our mere abiding of others is but an honest tool of

survival, if only that---

any attempt at betterment of the situation owes nothing to preconceived notions,

as it is these very notions that brings us as a species to near extinction

every time that we think it may be so & then feel the need to

broadcast it on every major news network we deem necessary,

so that anyone who may not have been thinking about it on their own

is forced to worry with the rest of us,

over & over & over again,

routinely----

offered up by those whose selfish misgivings brought us into existence

we all dwindle in unison

to the ever fading beat of an attempt at

understanding

anything.
