An Ode to Headless Chickens

To act only in self-interest;
Is to deny the miracle of existence.

But we are chickens; headless,
We are fools - directionless.

We act as though confident; yet blind,
We pretend to be enlightened, but out of our mind!

But alas! There are few seeking the answer.

Only problem? The truth hits you like a cancer..

Here's the "real truth" - now buy a water filter!!!

It must be the Jews; there are too many shills here.
But we are chickens; headless,
We are fools - directionless.

It hits you like a heart attack

If you let it; it will paint your whole world black!
Perception tells me that there is, indeed, a right. 

Will requires that I never surrender in this fight!

We've pulled that cosmic trigger; shot our load into space.
What I find stranger? It's so rare to see a human face!
It's great that it's simple, and it is now...
But it's turning you into a monster...but I guess you don't care, anyhow!

We destroy each other for the meaningless;
Considering it gospel...Ahh, how clueless!

But we are chickens; headless,
We are fools - directionless.

Complain away

Heh it's just pain. Sometimes it gets the better of me. But I've written more in the last 24 hours than I have in the last year or so. Would love to hear what you think and if you think it fits in the novel I've been working on for ever at this point haha.

I am working on something too
It's taking all that's in me

I will take a look
May you feel no pain johnny

[Jonny The Savage]

Sounds like it'll be great then :D
Thanks, I'm just somewhat concerned with how well it'll fit with the previous chapters. I like it, but it may serve better as a separate project.

[Stacy Purvis]

You are such an amazing writer. This piece is incredible. Thank you for sharing!

[Jonny The Savage]

Thanks for reading, this was one of the few things I've written somewhat recently and was pretty happy with. I'm usually incredibly self-critical, so that means something haha
