[hometext] => The second, both regarding my own opinion of my self, but this one, rather abstract, but profoundly relevant. Still iffy on the writing. Seems moody and angsty, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
[bodytext] => A man who walks a barren path Leaves and trees surrounding Fruit grows ever out of reach, Just a slight climb is all it takes Instead he stares, reaches still, Circling numerous times- Kicking soil in the air, Leaving trenches where paths once were A fly held in web captured, Stolen away from free skies It sees dung, food, decay and mates, All wrapped along sticky strings Awaiting the looming spider's bite, Oh how he wishes to escape! To fight! To decide when and where, How he meets his own end Walls of any kind create difficulty In lighting up the way as you go No matter where it is, You go to or from Flashlights and lanterns, Sure, they help light the way But artificial light breeds, Only artificial sight False hope and motivations Give false sense of direction The poor man works hard, busts his hump! "The rich get richer", and he has no fair share Teaching serfs to keep working hard, But never of the world around them What matters of neighbors? When neighbors are not family? They become victim to destiny, Set up, and destined to fail The system has been broken, Along with the spirits of the cogs Overtaken by the rusting mist Of a so called "trickling down" Always hungry, but conveniently enough, They just never seem to starve...
