Torture & Triumph
Society's most common Belonging

Shannon Robertson

You wake up with an empty wine bottle at your side
and light up your ciggarrette.
Stumbling over the sleeping body of your companion from last night
you scratch your infected crotch and mumble profanities never heard before.
You shower with substances which have been injected under the eyelids
of innocent animals..
They suffer for you.
You get into the vehicle that promotes your allergy to walking
and it spews disgusting thick clouds of smoke into the air
yes, the air we must share.
You work eight hours to earn the green paper that can get you material heaven
and turn you into another unfeeling, greedy slob.
Just like the ones before you, and before them.
For lunch, a meat sandwich made of mad slaughtered cows and other
wonderful mystery meats.. how very appetizing..
Your belly gets fatter as you sit at your desk of screaming trees
and stare out the window at the other alike buildings
that stand where national forest used to proudly hold up its head.

what of tomorrow?
Nothing.
