Misgivings

Dear Culture,

Isn't it career Not living, you make?

   as my life misses its soul!

Isn't it material Not intellect, you value?

   as my life acquires misery!

Isn't it belief Not truth, you speak?

   as my life fails at common sense!

Isn't it fun Not philosophy, you prepare?

   as my life learns ignorance!

Isn't it reason Not inspiration, you bring?

   as my life bleeds moving forward!

Isn't it pleasure Not happiness, you offer?

   as my life feels in emotional crisis!

Isn't it insecurity Not dream, you sow?

   as my life cultivates fear!

Isn't it fault Not people, you seek?

   as my life marries loneliness! 

Not Yours,

Me.
