the truth is filthy, babe
disappointing
pure luck
dreams
boredom
mundane everyday necessities
hopes
don't you get it, babe?
it takes not to want
slowly
labor
sacrifices
patience, babe
tumors
tonight there are no miracles
don't think so, babe
everyone's subordinated
rules
boundaries
shit
obscenities
this - yes
that - no
we're circulating, babe
same circles
recycle bin, babe
there's no new world
new rules
catchy promises
only this
give me some mo', babe
reality lives on raw meat

Really liked this poem...has that raw misanthropic feel to it that I can relate to.

Glad you liked it... I feel it less misanthropic, but rather scornful realistic skepticism towards people with delusional expectations.

Reality lives on raw meat - really great line - life certainly is carnivorous :)

I like this word... Carnivorous... and the implications of life - turning a fantasy into reality is really an opportunistic endeavor where being carnivorous certainly is of great help.

you know when some people walk into a museum, and turn their head side ways,
while they are observing a piece? I'm having that moment.... I appreciate the piece with a smile

to make clearer, what I mean is; personally not fully grasping or in total agreeance with the concept but accepting it as a piece with considerable validity and value to say the least; if that makes sense....chances are your words are dead on, with little to no chances of being any other way, despite any denial one may have....who am I kidding; the truth hurts....
Personally, I feel in these words there's some poetic truth, rather than a principle of nature or society. World changes all the time... Undeniably... Some people are capable of doing unimaginable things - both good and bad, but the truth is... ALL OF THIS IS FUCKIN DIFFICULT. It is a real struggle, with real effort, with real disappointments, it feeds on bleeding meat.
