Am I the asshole?
when I see a war,
an impending doom looming across countries in the world,
the first thought comes across,
Of assets to buy , and stocks to sell,
in order to maximise profits,
the gains from the loss of lives of millions.
Hope for the peace, yet profit and get rich off the chaos.
Oh Israel bombed Gaza? Time to buy and hoard more gold.
The Yemenis are about to go to war with the US and UK alliance?
Then its Time to invest in Lockheed Martin.
Am I the the asshole, for preaching peace, yet my stake lies in making money off terror?
Am I the asshole,
when I talk of love and companionship,
yet have given up on it?
to see and read about romanticism,
yet never commit to ever settling for a partner?
Disgust for humanity, masquerading as afraid of hurting the other,
fleeting partners, selectively chosen
as to who can provide me with the right contacts, information, experience and knowledge.
Selling myself in exchange for love,
has thou given up on me, O god?
is there no hope for an emotionless being like me?
Am I the asshole,
for giving up on loving another, in exchange for power?
Am I the asshole,
for prioritizing net profits over employee satisfaction?
A little more for me,
in exchange for a little less for them.
My Aston Martin is more important than their loans.
The same people who work so that I earn,
do not deserve the earnings.
Anyway, everyone knows how lazy the employees are.
No its not their headaches, or the fact that they skipped breakfast for the 3rd straight day in a row, and definitely not the fact that they recently got evicted from their houses,
their excuses are just a pretence.
Am I the asshole, for not being a good leader?
Am I the asshole, for the laziness that gets to me?
Yes I was supposed to water the plants,
yes I was supposed to feed the cat,
yes I was supposed to visit my grandparents daily.
But clearly, my likes and follows are dearer to me than any of these three.
Running away from my responsibilities, for the silliest shit there is,
like a new video game, or a new movie, which doesn't even make fucking sense,
when I've clearly got important places to be, shit to see,
Am I asshole for the laziness that gets to me?
Am I the asshole?
for thinking about depravity,
maiming, killing, and straight up insanity?
purely cannibalistic, fuelled by inhuman rage,
precision strikes, ability of immobilising is what I see?
for death would be kinder to them, than me?
Am I the asshole,
when I think of what worse I could be?
Well, I may be an asshole for all these things,
But am I an asshole for knowing all this,
yet not trying to be anything else?
We'll See.
Lets see.
