the grind

the grind

A Poem by joshua deathdealer

02/2012

"
I gladly sleep my days away.
Instead I crawl with the
fallen souls of the night.

Passing off poisons to 
increase our means
and resources.

Deadly excitements 
drive my live for the moment 
lifestyle and steel promises. 
                                                               
It really doesn't matter
anymore. That the scary 
thing. I used to fear.

Now I'm numb and ready
for anything. It's the nature
of the beast. Survival wins 

and money spends. I don't 
have a heart and rules bend. 
They call this the grind.

Sometimes it is better to get left behind.

The essence of life, I'd say. Unless you crawl, and remain face down in the dirt you know nothing of how to walk. And unless you've learnt to walk from such beginnings then you'll find it hard to learn how to ever do anything other than be one of the bottom feeders; one of those who would gladly steal your future for a quick fix. And that's the way of the world. Whoever we are we all grind, fighting against the metal system that is put in place to stop us from ever getting to where our potential should be realised.

Grinding is all there is. Everything else is just falsified ability.

I dont have a heart and rules bend. You channel your heart into your work, I love how you blended it with rules bend.
That last line moved me the most, sometimes it is so nice just to let them all get on with it. Thanks.
