Devoid
Devoid of
ingredients
and life.
Tell me again
how great
I have it
Mr. Billionaire,
unlike how hard
your life is.
Tell me Mr. Military
is it hard to
be given orders?
Directions
are faded
for living.
If only
I had never
wanted
to live
resilient
and devoid
of ingredients
and life,
so be it.
Tell me
Mr. Clear,
how near
are you
to finishing
what you want?
By the way
windex doesn't
work
on
broken
windows.

I like the message of this poem. I have often gone over similar ideas in my work

Another's evaluation of our life is a difficult pill to swallow. Especially when they seem to have it better. But, the only thing they have more of is a great fear of losing it.
Very introspective write.

I wrote it from my point of view, so it might be very introspective, but with the world not being as black and white as it might've been, it feels necessary to write about people who might've been deprived of chance of both success and failure.
