-I Know Nothing And Understand Less- by Keaton Foster I know nothing And understand less Of who you really are Or why I’m here This game A poetic charade Lies upon lies Burdensome defined I can’t help myself Or any of you I do this because I can Not because I wish There is no enemy That I would condemn In this way Never do I consider Any other There is no part Of any equation That you fit in You are a faceless Feckless warrior Of truth and kindness Your heart and soul Unappealing Potential rape victims Agitated life giving Muscular amenities I don’t hate you Because I only hate That which I know I have no feelings for you Because I have none for myself Emotionally vacant Arguably numb Alone I sit Under the same sun In my world of shit I stare off into the void Into the abyss of nothing And create something No topics can I refuse There is no sacred cow That I won’t abuse Everything is fair game All of it deserves My attention My relentless nature I know nothing And understand less Continue I will as is I’ll do my part Face the dark Spilling my ideas Like red paint Upon something grey The mess won’t be cleaned It will remain Long after my days A lifetime from now People will no longer say This man is crazed Instead they will ponder The brilliance of such madness They will read my words Not knowing the lies They will honor my ideas Making them their own Intellectual property Will matter not I won’t care I won’t fuss Happy I’ll be Seemingly content Not because I’ll be alive Here to see it But because I’ll be dead Able to miss it I know nothing And understand less Such a veil Of transparent material Serves me just Making my life And my need to write it out All seem worth it… I Know Nothing And Understand Less Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
