worry

na.

what vast damage is done to the once healthy body

when the stress of life comes into focus

bearing down upon the back, turning the hair gray

making the hair fall out &

making the heart palpitate

rendering the body useless,

soon to deteriorate from the inside

out---

our cells shrink & wither

our arteries get filled & stuffed up with plaque

all corresponding to the lifestyle of

21st century "progress"---

so this is what we have evolved for?

this place where the common goal of all humans is to

make more money or die trying?

and we watch our bodies fall apart &

we listen to our own screams

tell the tale of the "bliss" that we have attained,

having come this far,

finding that if there is nothing to worry about,

that there is a new worry that

because there is nothing at present to worry about,

a new surprise worry is coming!
