This World We Live In...

This World We Live In...

A Poem by Vicky Zhuang Yi-Yin

I am cold
I am told
By those who don’t know me
And those who do
Say it is envy

This is the world we live in
People here and there always thinking
About what the other is like
About what’s in the other’s mind

She’s a b***h
That’s because she’s rich
Say those not acquainted
And those who do
Say it is misjudged by those nitwits

This is the world we live in
People here and there always thinking
About what the other’s thinking
About what’s in the other’s belongings

Why don’t they mind their own business?
What’s it to them if I’m a princess?
It’s not like people flash around their assets
It’s not like people want other’s to stare at it

This is the world we live in
It’s not a bed of roses
In other’s businesses
People stick their noses
This is the world we live in

People here and there always thinking
And thinking and thinking and thinking

I agree with Serah...this really is reminiscent of that dark humor genre. Personally, when I first read it, it reminded me of those good old "I'm Tired of the World" songs. Lyrical, almost. The mood of this is so...everyday world. It's mundane--it's something everyone's heard before--but that's why it's accurate.

. i think the humour here ... if any ... is very, very black ... a lot of people succumb to morbid curiosity and it does make them judgmental ... i think this is a rather thought-provoking write ... very contemporary and cutting edge ...
