I'm 25 and I'm feelin' like life is overrated I set goals for myself... accomplish them And then get bored with the success I've achieved for myself I'm deep in debt trying acquire a "higher education" Even when I'm already smarter than these so called "scholars" Nobody wants the dollar What's the point of slaving for some currency that's worth dirt The economy is garbage and it's about to get worse People went from makin' it rain it to makin' it cloud burst Forcing to foreclose on their homes The stock market is falling off harder than Marion Jones I have zero hope in the American Government But I'm voting for Obama We need a change in this nation Besides voting for McCain Is like putting the last eight years of bull.... into syndication And that is a re-run I will never D.V.R Gas prices are insane The old bike is about to become the new car Riding in rain, sleet or snow Whatever it takes to keep from going bankrupt yo I'm not an optimist or pessimist I'm a realist…that's a mixture of both It's better to be prepare for anything Than to only be prepared for the good things Nothing in life is what it seems Most people know this So they lie to themselves to help survive through the bull.... Some people think that religion is important to humanity's health I used to believe in god Until I figured I'd get a lot more done if I just believed in myself I'm a man who asks questions And religion is the art of making up bull.... To make one's self comfortable How can god be real when everything is violent and unstable Evil rules the world Religion is man made and so is the bible Human's are designed to be untruthful Which means somebody is lying Because the truth is too hurtful It doesn't matter if a person is on their last day and close to dying They want to believe they're going to a better place in sky Even though they're going to cold place in the ground And will soon be forgotten about Nothing lasts forever... not even the sun Eventually all our lights will be turned out That's what happens when you die Humans are so selfish That they think there is a life after you've already lived one This type of greed is more common than the monetary one Life is too short to be worrying about a divine plan Designed by an imaginary man All you can do is be the best the you can While you can stand Because when you lay down Your clock has officially reached the end of it's countdown If you look in the thesaurus the words "friend" and "backstabber" are synonymous They smile all in your face to see what they can get Once they get what they want They treat you like trash and then move to the next sucka Have you feeling used like a mutha.... The guard is now always up Past bad relationships have changed my stance On where friendship and romance should stand I had a girl tell me she wanted us to be together and that she loved me Then proceeded to get married to a lower quality man Every time I think about it I get sad That was a while ago, but I'm glad she's starting to fade out of my life like a pair of black pants This is the end of my vent…..'til next time. |

StreetPoet~ Wow ... such a vent you've shared~ I hope that you have much yet to learn~ Life affords us the opportunity to have different beliefs and views as we walk through situations ... I trust that your walk will find that love and friendships can be blessings ... and if not ... then hopefully your walk through this life will find much to be grateful for~ I will try to find more by you to read~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Yo Streets, I'd think of cutting some of this. Think several poems. BTW, go head Obama. He gets my vote too. Bobby |
