A Poem

I am a shadow of myself

A hollow reflection of what I used to be

I have become voiceless

Because of other’s choices

Everything drowned out

By the drone of the crowd

Surrounded by nonsense

Requests for the nonessentials

While others starve for their needs to be met

The world passes us all by

The majority of us ground into powder

So the rest may feast

Some ask, why?

But most of us just drone on

Until we’re free

    "But most of us just drone on." Been feeling a bit like that lately. We're just here to benefit the others.
