Library Poem
Why can't I just
Go along with the system?
Why can't I just "be happy"
Why am I so poor?
Why do I insist on working
A 20 hour work week at most
Why am I lazy?
Why do I drive around just
To people watch?
Why do I ******* in my room?
Why is life
A lonely
And miserable affair?
Why did my therapist
Who I enjoyed talking to
Leave me?
Why do I look the way I do?
Why have I listened to thousands
And thousands of hours
Of documentaries
And podcasts?
Why does America
Keep ******* things up
Across the globe?
America didn't do
Anything When Sadaam
Was using it's chemical weapons
Against our enemy Iran
In the Iran-Iraq war
And I'm always
Out of position
The librarian puts
The books
On the shelves
And answers the phone
I sit here and type
And make nothing
And why have I chosen
The life I lead?
I just have
I just have!
And I want to hug someone
To love someone
But no one
No one is there
And everyone is on
Their phone
And nobody cares
And this country
Is hated by millions
Across the globe
And I wanted to travel
So many places
To Kashmir
To see beautiful faces
Where a war is fought over land
I used to use my left
Now I use my right hand
To correct the slight body
Imbalance you see
Self pleasure is not
Good for me
North Korea
Prepares it's nukes
What are they for?
To destroy our nation
And settle the score
And the world is not stable
And I am not able
Not able to make
One female friend
And I told the therapist
This is what I wanted
Again, and again
But it's a world
That doesn't care
No constellation prize
No "there there"
Just desperate
Hungry glares
And my family
Is not at all prepared
To face what may come
I'm afraid it may not
Be much fun
I love you ladies
Wherever you are
Whether near or far
Heavenly ladies
Provide caring hugs
All I would like
Is just to feel loved
By another human being
Caring women
In my eternal dreams
