58: Survival of the Fittest


Survival of the Fittest

elitism at its finest,

destiny manifested,

happening to be, 

only from stolen equity. 

the bourgeois up to no good,

since the dawn of time.

Hubris, greed and power

are all that is worth striving for. 

But, my reality is different from the one they perceive. 

So am I to blame, or them? 

To me, I live in deep piety

while they are dining with the devil.

If someone’s keeping track,

i’m in the green,

but I often doubt this.  

Am I just being good, 

for perceived posthumous benefit? 

And I must die in order to earn them?

Hilarious. 

Our current heaven is now, 

but it’s treated like hell. 

I wish I had more people to tell…

Everytime I feel this way, I have to yell.  

and they steal my heaven,

medicate me back to hell.
