Anticipate

 

Each day grows darker much shorter in time, every waking moment is an argumentative rhyme.

 

Is there nothing to look forward to, nowhere to go, stagnant and oblivious it’s a stoic sideshow.

Void of direction how could one learn, imagining one day that morality will return.

 

All is not lost at least that’s what you’ve heard, unscrupulous matters teetering on the absurd.

No zest no passion, no desire to be, no love of life in all of its mediocrity.       

 

You think… you think… You wait and you wait, for all of life’s bullshit you must anticipate!

philosophical and poetic , a poem to ponder .

"theater of absurb " sounds like an album title to me , Camus writing the lyrics .

and that ending - I feel a touch of the careful of what you wish -or anticipate- for

[HopelesslyDevoted]

yes, words that i could not express in time when i felt this way but did not know it. as you said "Void of direction in circles you turn,
no inspiration just crash and burn."
its a horrible state to be in. during those times, even without inspiration, i just have channel my anger/sadness into music and poetry. otherwise you do spiral and burn, cause there is way too much bullshit in life to try and hold in all in. thanks for posting. i agree, it does make you think.

That was thought provoking, I am sure I'll be pondering this one for some time. Wow.

Now this I liked! It held loads of meaning.. The darkness, moments in time where you toss and turn. Nothing makes sense. Oh yea.. These I can relate to. And the ending 3 lines, hell.. Bravo!

Well done, speaking to those dark, dark times in life, and the picture of the scull in war gives it other dimensions too.

This poem reminds me of depression, dread, gaining nothing
in the end.

[Gracie-San]

All of this is spot on, especially the ending line. I loved it.
