Bottle of Pop

AuburnScribbler

 

Psst! You there, looking aimlessly,

there’s something lacking in your life,

I’m sure you will agree,

 

so, come on over, to the shelves,

and look at me on top, for

I am sweet medicine, I’m a bottle of pop,

 

pay for me or steal me,

I don’t bloody care, I just want me

in you, so I can make the air,

 

the air you breath, the thoughts

you think, the fear of losing out,

a number in the merry mob, cheering all about,

 

your wayward smile; I will make;

so easily attractive, for everybody’s doing it,

the joy; so hyperactive,

 

there is no you, only us,

#in the game,

take no responsibility; as piety is pain,

 

don’t challenge me, you won’t win,

my numbers; make the code,

every single kid, has grown up on my road,

 

so swallow down; my sugar shit,

bandwagons make your ethics, as you cannot

make the change; you monkey breaking sticks, thus,

 

become both lost and found,

your life is just recycled,

like my plastic bottle, immortal and unbridled,

 

oi! Where are you off too? There’s no teacher

in attendance, hence, wait in line; to commit a crime,

and serve out your life sentence!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Question: what is more important to you, being accepted into a crowd, or questioning what that crowd has deemed correct? When it comes to humanity, and the dire inner workings of "merry mobs", "cliques" "religions" and "political parties", it would seem, that the latter is never thought of at all, as the popular opinion is the only thing that matters, for it becomes the system, even if it's content is morally wrong. Meaning that people who are marginally different and start to question such "virtues", they are socially demonised and are even prosecuted and "dealt with", of which "congratulations" to any baloney court who's ever hanged a witch! (They were free thinking women, who were master apothecarists who wanted to help, and you know it!) Fast forward to today, to the irritation of the new "fleshling robot" people, popular opinion has got out of control, to the point that the design for life has now become a cancel fest, fueled by double standards and hypocrisies. Just because it's popular, does not make it correct! In fact, with what has happened recently, and is still allowed to occur, because it's popular, it makes it dangerous! With that said, I give this poem entitled: "Bottle of Pop", with a piece of clipart that perfectly visualises the snide pride heart of what makes up the popular opinion, along with the banner picture depicting the bubbling allure of it all. Again, I am not trying to diminish a general sense of enjoyment here, but I repeat my thought; that we really do need to be better than this folks, we really do! I hope that you enjoy this and take something from it, and as always, please do stay safe in the madness everyone!

    Herd mentality all for acceptance widely known to be in effect we are a social species that leaves us open to so many wrongs and injustices yet on we go with no thought. I being a rebel and comfortable alone feel it less but still there is a magnetic force that pulls on us all. A lovely write
