Poem - No jokes here

Summary:

Poem wrote back in August of this year. A personal, but very angst poem.

Work Text:

Haha
The road is dull
Haha
The sun beats down
Pure vitamin D
Haha
Pure energy
As we rage in the streets

Haha
Damn it
I’ve lost that dream job
The mind trails on
Haha
Sweet laughter
It numbs the pain

Haha
Ah fuck
More events canceled
Social activity dropped to 0

Haha
The mind reacts again
Adding jokes to numb the day
Haha
It’s dark my man
What kind of person would hide behind a mask?
And pretend to be ok with it?

Haha
The sanity starts to crack
Social media is a drama zone
Picking fights
As if we need the fuel
While life spirals more into chaos

Haha
Life you say?
Caged in a house
Maybe I’ll pretend to not notice
As my meds keep the bad news at bay

Haha
TV you say?
What a joke
The news is
Relying on chaos to fuel the majority
While the minority wants nothing more than some good news

People to come through
Humanity to see the light

Haha
What’s money?
A fuel for the economy?
Or the government?
To take and take

Haha
Numb
That’s a real emotion for 2020

Loosing innocence
Loosing sanity
Yah
It’s great

Roll down the windows
Scream
Shout
I don’t care

What is praise?
What is popularity?

Haha
What’s good?
What’s bad?
Anymore

Are we in this together?
Are we giving it all we got?
Are we living?
Or are we dying?

Sweet laughter
You’ve held on for so long
I’m going insane
Waiting...waiting...waiting...
For something new

To keep moving forward
While my mind feels we’re going backwards

Fighting
Is it worth it?

Blood on the streets
So much blood on the streets...

Humanity..
What have you done

What’s the new normal?
Rage?
Death?
Communism?
Discrimination?

Or are we finally realizing
This is life
Our vision of the world
As it set ablaze

Fire
So much fire

So much ruin

Haha
I can still hear
The depth of a joke

This isn’t a joke
My dude

We’re fighting
For freedom

We’re tired
We’ve been tired for so long

We just want freedom
To earn a living without starvation
Give the kids a future
Without bubbling up their social interaction
Love for all humanity
Regardless who we choose to be
Who we’re born as

This is not a joke
But don’t take it personally

We’re all a bit messed up
Welcome to having
Perfect vision

Peace
That’s what we need
Peace...
And don’t forget...
Love..
