"galactically" poems - Hello Poetry

The sun did Icarus no favors His fateful day of flight, Inanimate or not, Certain bodies enjoy our plight. - Once again, lost in False perpetuation of “hope,” Idyllic fantasies That such a notion exists, This symbiotic altruism, Supposedly reciprocal In its false entirety, Is one major devastation Among many in our evolution. - Giving “freely” in “good will towards man,” Thinking to ourselves we’ll be rewarded then, One hand offered while the other is expecting, Trudging through miserable life without correcting This anticommunal sentiment Progressive aggression, breeding resent, We stumble through life filled with **** but “good” Swallowing lies we create, falsehood, The never-existing pure encounters, Justify our ****** parameters, “Do for me, I’ll do for you” In fear, in hate, we come unglued, Lay blade to table and swear your life, You’ll never surmount, be above this strife, Inexorably determined, Our society lives upon scraps And ideals old men have thrown From a tyrannical table Made of outdated theorems And objectified values, Deemed “enough” for us, And we settle in our filth As we praise them for their charity, Wet with anticipation, We just wait to be privileged enough To be in their good favor, To provide their main course. Our poor blind children, Knowing nothing of their enslavement. Lick the hand, all is well, Die for your master, live in hell, Survive this canvas, Post a status. Die for nothing. Universally irrelevant, Galactically meaningless, Walk the foggy path toward The void, culminating in The apex of your misguided meandering, Blinded all your life By all variables denying your right, Your natural freedom, You waste of humanity.

The Fault In Reciprocal Altruism.

The sun did Icarus no favors His fateful day of flight, Inanimate or not, Certain bodies enjoy our plight. - Once again, lost in False perpetuation of “hope,” Idyllic fantasies That such a notion exists, This symbiotic altruism, Supposedly reciprocal In its false entirety, Is one major devastation Among many in our evolution. - Giving “freely” in “good will towards man,” Thinking to ourselves we’ll be rewarded then, One hand offered while the other is expecting, Trudging through miserable life without correcting This anticommunal sentiment Progressive aggression, breeding resent, We stumble through life filled with **** but “good” Swallowing lies we create, falsehood, The never-existing pure encounters, Justify our ****** parameters, “Do for me, I’ll do for you” In fear, in hate, we come unglued, Lay blade to table and swear your life, You’ll never surmount, be above this strife, Inexorably determined, Our society lives upon scraps And ideals old men have thrown From a tyrannical table Made of outdated theorems And objectified values, Deemed “enough” for us, And we settle in our filth As we praise them for their charity, Wet with anticipation, We just wait to be privileged enough To be in their good favor, To provide their main course. Our poor blind children, Knowing nothing of their enslavement. Lick the hand, all is well, Die for your master, live in hell, Survive this canvas, Post a status. Die for nothing. Universally irrelevant, Galactically meaningless, Walk the foggy path toward The void, culminating in The apex of your misguided meandering, Blinded all your life By all variables denying your right, Your natural freedom, You waste of humanity.

There's a fire in your eyes And then mine caught flame And as it burned for miles We knew we'd never be the same We'd watch the world go by From our seats right on the moon And you took me by surprise Whispering "They'll all be stardust soon" And as we venture in to Mars Sweaty palms at the unknown You say that the millions of stars Make you feel like you're alone We're so small in the grand scheme of things Insignificant explorers after black holes disguised as dreams But all in all, we'll still hope to conquer Saturn's rings Insignificant explorers jumping in to black holes disguised as dreams

Pleasantly And Galactically Consumed

There's a fire in your eyes And then mine caught flame And as it burned for miles We knew we'd never be the same We'd watch the world go by From our seats right on the moon And you took me by surprise Whispering "They'll all be stardust soon" And as we venture in to Mars Sweaty palms at the unknown You say that the millions of stars Make you feel like you're alone We're so small in the grand scheme of things Insignificant explorers after black holes disguised as dreams But all in all, we'll still hope to conquer Saturn's rings Insignificant explorers jumping in to black holes disguised as dreams

We all have the same , date of birth, Maybe not on the earth, But some where else, Galactically far enough in this universe. Which fortunately means we are all Some how twins!
