(Poem) “Is This Life?”
My inspiration for writing (Is This Life) is the hamster wheel that society has created. By no means am I saying to quit your jobs but I am saying use them as a stepping stone to buy some land or get back to what’s natural.
-Author Urban Poems-
Working a 9-5 are vital survival hours.. after dealing with a toxic supervisor stressing you out abusing you with their powers.. now it’s 6 o clock you finally making it home looking forward to a shower.. so 7 rolls around.. your kids looking hungry thinking where’s ours.. you’ve been on your feet since before the sun came up.. but it’s all on you, there’s nobody there to give you flowers… I know you’re tired and it’s easier said than done.. this life we live devours.. we were made to live off the earth… made to give birth… made to work.. in our own farms but the money is our curse… take me back to the old days when we knew how to use herbs.. When building our own homes and drinking from wells fulfilled our thirst.. comfort is the demon that’s putting bodies in a hearse.. fast food and no time to work out is why our bodies hurt.. most of us wouldn’t survive a day in the wild.. so what are we really worth? All of our skills were swapped for comfort.. we traded life for a purse.. I’m not saying quit your jobs.. but find your way back to living.. nothing grows with planting a seed first..
