Wasted Days and Wasted Lives



















today was one of those wasted days where you
have the time to do so many things,
yet wind up doing nothing,
laying around in your pajamas,
as grass and weeds in need of
cutting and trimming, quietly
grow outside;
you go back to bed and
sleep until one in the
afternoon,
you eat your wife’s Reeses Cups
and Kit Kat bars,
then feel guilty and tell yourself
you’ll run to the store later
and buy some more,
but you only leave the house
to take the dog outside,
as you take a double shot
of insulin to try and keep
your blood sugar under 400;
yes, a completely wasted,
unproductive day;
you try to write,
so the day won’t be
a complete loss,
perhaps provide a little
redemption for wasting
an entire day,
but it doesn’t help,
you think about things
you haven’t thought about
in a long, long time,
you think about people and
places which have come
and gone,
about plans and dreams
that never seem to
work out,
you think about life,
you think about death,
you think about lies
and hypocrisy,
all the bullshit in this world,
all the nonsense and chaos,
you think about monsters,
dark and evil,
who steal the innocence
and faith from young
children,
taking all they have,
leaving them to grow up
with nothing left to give,
you think about all the lives
wasted by wars and greed,
all the suffering in the name
of ego and pride,
you think about truth
and know that there is
only One;
and all the wasted days and
wasted lives are the
only proof you’ll ever need.
