Why can’t I be that dumb?
to accept everything I’ve been told
I want to feel the joy they must have
to walk in total ignorance.
Let me be a smile
I want to pace my life through happiness
lace my breath with freedom
let me know what it’s like
to be so sublime you don’t even question
Where is their search for answers?
deductive reasoning is dead!
there is no space for thought
just lousy head
and weak orgasms.
I have given up on it all
rhyming is no longer worth the pain
words just make reality more severe
I am a witness to the ebbing of intelligence
to the reclusive hermit of understanding
I am road kill on the universal highway
space dust sniffed like powdered Hercules
causing a thousand dreams of Spring break and brightly colored women
breaking my body that much farther from my mind
The life has taken a turn for the worse
we no longer live to be full spiritually
we live longer to fill the stomach
the new heart.
where once we fed the heart in romance and beauty
we now stuff our stomach with excess and repugnance
and we feed our penises with diseases clapping like a million strains of
pleasure pimpled skin of insatiable dishonor.. insert your poison and any prop here.
I am so lost I don’t know who I am
I don’t even remember where I left my talent
my love
my self
… I once knew a way to please
please!
I once understood these things
there used to be a joy in witnessing of futility
but now it seems that there is nothing new under the sun…
how shall I waste away the rest of these days….
There are not words for this Jones. It’s society, insidious. Permeating the youth this lack if thought. But. Your personal reasoning ability obviously is intact, or you couldn’t see this. This is a great honest piece of writing.’ Keep seeking, as for hid treasure, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door shall be opened.’ A search for knowledge and reasoning leads, apparently, to truth. Thanks for writing.
I liked what I read…
I would like to share a quote with you by Robin Sharma, “Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the opportunity you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment.”
Love & Light. Sarah x
nice! thanks for the quote
Tomorrow will be a happier sun and we will forget the gray of today…if we dont let the darks discolor the bests of life…
Excellent write~
thank you
Excellent insight.. very well said.
Love the line: ‘words just make reality more severe’
There’s nothing new under the sun, but there’s also nothing static. Together they constitute the truest form of potential. We need not create anything, merely redirect. And I’m guessing you’d treat your writing at this attempt at redirection. And rightly so.
Enjoyed it.
I like that… “the truest form of potential”
Excellent piece
Nick
i saw you liking my latest post. Thank you Mr. Jones. This piece of yours is beautiful. =)
I really like this. The starting with the quasi–sincere longing to be stupid, i.e. ignorance is bliss, and then the wrapping up with “there used to be a joy in witnessing futility”.
Hope you don’t mind if I share this link via FB. (which trust me, I don’t do often)
by all means .. I need all the publicity I can get. since no one apparently wants to publish it.. I am not jaded!..not at all…
You put into words the feelings I have been struggling with for a long time. Very nice words, I might add.
awesome.. I think… but sorry you feel this way as well
So many great lines in one piece – one that should be read and re-read…
Thank you.. feel free to let every single person you know and have every met about it…
They say ignorance is bliss and it’s true. But it’s not necessarily a lack of faculties that leads some to find ignorance a more comfortable head-space, rather it’s a grim determination to ignore the void. Would you agree?
yes…and that is what bothers me. Growing up I felt there was a lust for understanding among us and now there is an absence of passion for anything intellectual and I am anything but intelligent but I have always sought to be more then I am.. it’s that H.D.T quote that haunts me.. “Most men live lives of quite desperation..” I refuse to be that and yet that man is everywhere now
Well, there’s two things here: Firstly, never sell yourself short when it’s so easy to find a moron to do that for you. Secondly, make your desperation loud! It’s what the Internet’s for, after all.
