Obligatory Birthday Poem

Obligatory Birthday Poem #42

An entire lifetime of being everything
yet being nothing at all - ever

Birthdays and Halloweens
(have become) quaint if not just plain corny

Lead and crime (death and grime)
the rights of the antonymous people(s)

Surrounded mostly though by mopes
content with taking pictures of each other

Bad Starbucking parents creating
crises to catastrophe to come

But, this is just a brief point in
the story, the time, and the history

One of several
possible outcomes

Again, I contend it's
the manifestations of our discontent, realized

Now. We know. That.
We can do anything
