Introverted Sage

(sold Soul)

Look at you look at you

Look at your hair

All of your 'real' friends

Care what you wear.

Don't flash a label

No words

They just stare.

Carbon copy of the masses

No real individual flare.

▪️◾◼️◾▪️

Look at you look at you

You think you're so smooth,

Tasting my words

As someone else

shines your shoes.

Wondering

how the lyrics

Could flow like mine do.

Clout chasing

Paper chasing

A lifestyle of fools.

▪️◾◼️◾▪️

Look at you look at you

Look at your life.

More than you know what to do with

In a world filled with poverty and strife.

Take a peek at your heart

Doesn't look so nice.

Living like you do

A roll of the dice.

A chance to switch places

I wouldn't think twice.

It's a no from me

I'm trying to live right.

▪️◾◼️◾▪️

Look at you look at you

Look at your Soul.

Material possessions

Won't fill that gaping hole.

Day by day

It's taking a toll.

As more and more see your true role.

▪️◾◼️◾▪️

Look at you look at you

No really.

Just stop and look.

All this fun

that you're having.

Not a care what you took.

Enough deceit

to write a book.

Believe it or not

Selling your Soul

Doesn't take it

off the hook.

    I don't understand this kind of poetry.It is stream of consciousness and really has no clear meaning.It is not even clear who is talking to whom and why.

      Perhaps it's not for you to understand 🤷🏽‍♂️
      If the messages in the work are meant for you, you will know by the way it makes you feel.
      If the messages in the work are not meant for you, you will know by the way it makes you feel.
      Both are perfectly fine, and as it should be.
      My work won't be understood by most.
      I appreciate your comment.
      Happy writing!

      I really like the lay of the poem. Feels like an ended relationship with materialism and the related obliviousness of the one
      whose materialistic. It's funny how people cannot or refuse to see the harm they can cause by just simply being indifferent to those around them. Materialism, selfishness, soullessness. Very relatable, and based on certain critiques, a poem that proves itself true.

        Great observation.
        Very well said and very true.
        The world could use more closed mouths and opened eyes and ears.
        I appreciate your comment.
        Happy writing!

        There is no one righteous, not even one;

        • Introverted Sage

          Should be a leading desire..
          this poem speaks to the seeming front runner.
          I appreciate your comment.
          Happy writing!
