I will mourn the people I lost and the opportunities I took. I will suffer when the sun is out. I will stay in bed tonight. I will not go out when I am supposed to. I will think when I reportedly don’t. I will stay in bed tonight. I will admire the people I cheated. I will congratulate the ones who aided my fall. I will stay in bed tonight. I will not drink as required. I will not be antagonising another man in the dark. I will stay in bed tonight. I will not steal an idea. I will display my work and be laughed at. I will stay in bed tonight. I will stay in bed tonight and wake as a failed being that almost resembles a human. Oh wait- a failed being is human.

A failed opportunist’s revelations.
I noticed that I always say "It will be alright" When things are difficult. And I never broke that promise.

an opportunist's crush
Forgot how deep my love for chaotic thoughts But you've been with me for years and I don't see you going anywhere Forgot how much karma ***** on sweet fools like you I swear I'm not evil aligned It's just too opportune and my sweet fool, to you i whisper in your loving ear i'm but an opportunist.

The Opportunist
Wiggy doesn’t mean it is a wig Just that it looks very like one; And the hairdo is so ludicrous That we can’t help making fun. You act like an adolescent Your orange hair is almost funny. You utter the most inane things Your disposition totally not sunny. Wiggy little piggy, is what you are As you ludicrously strut about. You make yourself a laughingstock From your hooves up to your snout. You spout a bunch of garbage High on the ignorance scale Like you bought it all half price At a dollar-store basement sale. Snort and wiggle, grimace and scowl It’s quite the side-show carnival show You open your mouth and let fall out Words that prove what you do not know. Grunt and wallow in your own mud Holler, howl, bellow and squeal As if the lies you are telling us all Amount to something valid and real. Wiggy little piggy, is what you are As you ludicrously strut about. You make yourself a laughingstock From your hooves up to your snout. You spout a bunch of garbage High on the ignorance scale Like you bought it all half price At a dollar-store basement sale. So far, you are making yourself Totally beloved in the Sainted South But to most of us you would look Better with an apple in your mouth. You **** and moan and pontificate And spout such bigoted wit That the best place for you is Guest of honor on a barbecue spit. Wiggy little piggy, is what you are As you ludicrously strut about. You make yourself a laughingstock From your hooves up to your snout. You spout a bunch of garbage High on the ignorance scale Like you bought it all half price At a dollar-store basement sale.

Shall I be a chameleon? In a way that Makes observers sick, Shall I uncunningly Side the slick? Shall I optimize my chance Echoing both The good or wrong stance Of who by unfair means Seized the rein of power And hence benefits Will not be loath On me to shower? A chameleon, Reflecting my surrounding Shall I be Self serving As it has become Nowadays a common thing? Shall I be an ermine ? Keeping my professional And self integrity And cleanliness True to my conscious To the extent of Facing an unfolding adverse Shall I distance My self From being A false witness On my colleagues And neighbours?
