Misery

Published: December 23, 2022

Let me construct you a miserable human mind.

No, no, it’s simple, pay attention, or not.

Just go to a school, a social gathering, or a farm

Pick a subject, any child, with dreams or crafty leather arms.

Teach him rules,

punish him for questions you don’t understand

Guilt him into picking ideas you choose.

Be particular of this, my friend, all ideas YOU choose.

Then let him believe he is set free, but keep a track

Never stop conforming

Feed him lies.

Make him watch the news,

Turn him into a social media guru

Let him worry about his face, money, attitude.

Shower the dos and don’ts, like it’s fun

Make his family laugh at his courage to shine

Mind you, his better-half should be the normal kind!

Focused only on money, love, and pride.

Now, most importantly, when he grows up,

All tired and sad, wanting to change the world,

Force his failures on him

Why didn’t he fight, stand up, or take the glide?

What’s this obsession with questioning and the spiritual side?

Blame so sour, guilt so powerful, that he stops thinking

And ignorant with his plastic head

He shall be happy then.

And miserable, so miserable hence!
