Assignment 1 - Poetry

For this assignment we had to create a concrete poem on one of either two themes, I chose ''I am an expert in ... ''. This is what I created.

                I ,

You will try to understand this but, in truth only some will. For everything is not what it seems, your grandeur, your life, your dreams. I am not trying to push you down or drown you at your seams but, make you realize this illusive means.

          am an expert in nothing

and so are you.

Many of you quivering in your seats, you Deny it, abide it, completely chastise it. So let me tell you the view, of a select few. The masses are drugged on sugar and so are you. Parents don’t know what to do. Radiation is in your pocket and its killing you. The truth is paid not to be viewed. Men in power have taken from you.

For what is this illusive means I speak?.

Academia is a hypocrisy mastered by a ever reoccurring new autocracy.  Prices will climb, salary’s will only by a dime. Slave to the coin you will be, to that

            ever illusive currency. Feed on the media to survive, you have

                     to if you want to pretend to thrive. Desperation

                   will be your social castration. We are all

                                hungry to hate and are born with the

                                inability to wait. We are flawed,

mauled by the incessant hardships of our reality. Come to accept it as a formality. The future is bleak, the human race has reached its peak. The planet burns for our earns. The human will is weak.

This information, let it leak. Let it absolve you from this continuous streak. I speak of a broken world where young and old break repeat. Break this streak. I am an expert in nothing, this is true but I have eyes, ears and a mouth too. I am like everyone, am I not you? We are all the same, break not you.
