On a bench,
Whether garden or mall,
Nothing better to do,
Watch life go by.
Try not to judge,
Yet it is impossible.
...
Woman parading in fashion,
Walking skeletons,
Thinking they are beautiful,
Not realizing how hideous,
Sick and deplorable they look.
Dying and they know not.
...
Lumbering giants,
Deformed by overzealous intake,
Plopping more junk in pie holes.
Waddle past, raspy breath,
Hearts ready to burst,
They are but children.
...
Rich, poor, everybody,
Swiping cards of debt,
Eagerly buying worthless rubbish,
To appease and quell desires.
Want, want, want raucously echoes,
Over actual needs.
...
Lust's glances,
Strip woman naked,as necks crane,
Skirts, tops, just covering,
Requires no imagination.
Who is worse?
The looker or the wearer?
...
Soft sigh,
Observe silently again tomorrow.
No expectations of a change.
What else have I to do?
Stomach growls, reminder,
Time to search the trash for food.
