Irrational Acceptance

what some see as good i cant help but disagree with

The mouth was moving, happily so, simply running

I couldn’t read the words but the machinery

Was churning out blank plastic form after blank plastic form

Each one meant to represent

An individual who had lost their identity

 

So I said, “F**k the thought swimming behind your eyes”

But you were still weaving, dreaming up,

Reason after malformed reason

That mankind was all a different version,

Only a reflection, of you

 

So my words mean nothing

To your lofty Mannequins opinion

Immovable in its ink

My words may as well remain unuttered

 

Why should I speak when you are me?

You, almighty Narcissus, have already

Contemplated, possibly uttered to your reflection,

Each and every word by your own admission

 

Every hated scar, every uttered lie, every reflected abuser

You manifest

Every word written, a moving speech, an unfair legislation

You plagiarize

 

Why would you want this?

 

Perhaps the answer is all too clear

You are indeed everyone and everyone is you

Due to a lack of identity

 

Dyed hair paired with a vocabulary

All mean nothing

To your reflection

 

So the machine shop spits out another

Cheap copy of a cheap copy and the end looms closer

While the moving mouth mutters, “This is good, this is necessary…”

Hearing nothing other than their echo

As I stare in wonder on the opposite side of the glass

 

Take off the slate colored glasses

See red for once

I agree with you entirely, my friend. What a brilliantly insightful piece of writing this is. Off late, I have been at the receiving end of so much criticism because I can't accept what I am supposed to, according to the majority, that I am relieved to read these words of wisdom from you. You sound like the voice of sanity and rational thought and I appreciate that immensely.

how can the majority know where you are meant to go if they dont know where they are meant to go? Dont let the warped perspectives sway you. The only one who can find the right path for you is you. Although the voice of sanity may be taking this too far...Thank you so much for the kind review my friend.

You're very welcome.
I really needed to read a rational perspective today.
