A While Worth The While

What keeps us here at a stagnant pace?
All people halt and stop at the end of the day asking indefinite questions
Is this what I want?
Am I happy?
Can I ever become something worthwhile?
We anticipate lives full of luxury, lavish cars, expensive wine, weekend trips to Boston, jet planes stocked with caviar that glimmers like beads of black pearls against glassy white china
Its not like we asked for these images of success and superfluous dinner parties implemented with ravenous gowns and tuxedos speaking classy-speak with ravenous tuxedos and gowns
Discontentment breeds revolution and revolution breeds violence
Anger brews at a low boil and swiftly awakens when actions speak louder than words
We scream in silence as we lift our glasses of sweet Svedka in the air
Thoughts of breaking in to a hopeless terminal limbo sentenced by sweet agony and self-pity invokes tranquility
We lie to ourselves like they have lied to us
Bombs that blast, bloodshed upon our past has brought this human race a lasting realization that nothing can ever be finished
Grudges grow like the big rough skinned tree that hangs loosely over an oak porch
When it grows for far to long, the branch snaps, demolishing all that resides in its path
A sixteen-year girl throws up her fifty-dollar lunch to mirror some magazine model, who consequently did the same thing hours before
Children ache alone in dark hours of the night clutching their phones waiting to be noticed
While others burn blunts and are orphans
Mothers lose their fathers, sisters, and brothers to bullets begun with a bashing hatred of existence
An eternal cry for something more——
There is something sentimental which lies beneath the flesh and soul, beyond all ego and consciousness
There is love and yearning for peace
Yet retaliation against this knowledge is inevitable, for we know nothing else except a false falsetto; we keep beckoning towards something better, dreaming of some nirvana
While we stay at this stagnant pace and halt
Dreaming is this what I want?
Am I happy?
Can I ever become something worthwhile?
