The Meaning

Took long enough to understand the nature of the human condition
but it was much easier to forget.  No matter how many times the truth
is spoken the people are often sticking ice picks in their ears to dull
the sense of understanding.   In the charisma of the snake charmers
men are lulled into complacency till the venom is surging through
all veins, and the heart is pumping nothing but poison because they
could not be bothered to pay attention to the dangers.   In times of strife
pickled pigs feet are being eatin as substitutes for bananas and cream
cheese bagels because what does it matter what one consumes if one
is already dull to beauty.   In that wishy washy way they will say give
unto the world your best achievements but we will hoard them in the back
of the bus because we could not deem them perfect enough to be given
unto the rudimentary masses that followed us.   All the days that go on
with the sun burning high in the sky out there in the outer spaces
the men on the dark side of the moon who toil away at the cratered impact
blemishes searching for answers when life is being sent in cosmic rays
against the magnetic poles of our mother earth; it is not their fault
for forgetting for we tend to make men work with kinked necks and troubled
backs so that they can never look up.  Tell them again what you know
on social media, and let the like button be executed a thousand times
so that its death is many and just as the man who passes in the night
it will have no true consequence to the end game.  So eat your canned
ham, chicken and tuna and commit yourself to the absurd ordeals
of domesticated life, with ears bent and tail wagging in submissive
delight to the twirl of the auto-correct button on your IPhone 2000.
Took long enough to write nothing of consequence and redundant
in its absences of any real weight.   The people will look at what you
have said and scratch at the crusted sleepiness that sits dimly in 
the corners of their eyes and they will wonder why you waste minutes
of your time typing up impossible tasks.  For who can expose the truth
if they are unwilling to expose themselves to any real ridicule or lofty
ambitions.   Sit down and think it over, since you will never be this
young again.
