To give up,
To lay down,
To put the barrel of a gun in your mouth.
What is said about HAPPINESS?
NONE of the above

To be herded,
Commanded,
Thoughtless.
This is servitude
And HAPPINESS is none of the above.

Yet you openly throng to it.
Beg your greedy master of death for stronger CHAINS.
You ask not for love and independence,
But flock towards drugs and whoring.

"What is life?" You say.
I will reply saying
"Certainly not a pursuit of HAPPINESS."
For if we all poison ourselves we are dead.
Nobody could judge us.
So it's okay, right?
To live comfortably in our own husks of rotting FLESH.
Ahh! "What a life!"
Yes, "What a load of crap."

Suicide of the mind, body and soul
Is what YOU live.
Waste not you life in despair,
But live life, LIVE!
