Valid Issues



Who not these days can say,
They have no valid issues to claim.
Or be one to blame this on,
An entitled way of life lived...
Bombarded by too much variety.
Buried under a ton of spice.
To fight over who has the right,
Protecting to defend...
Their choice of various medications.
While...
Popping legal drugs with a nearby beverage.
With a hoping a little alcohol added.
Relieves them from the stress.
Assisting them to dismiss,
A keeping up of appearances.
On a daily basis addressed.

Come on.
Who gave their approval,
To authorized this 'conscious' act...
As normal behavior?
Making the people to adjust,
And also adapt as a common routine.
On a regular basis to practice.

It's not easy living life 24/7.
Pretentiously done to prioritize,
The making of impressions.
Or being scrutinized for everything,
Chosen to choose...
Whatever one does done to do.
Then be questioned to explain,
The purpose and value of it.
Today?
Many might not express this in a way,
To say, "So much do I love my own company.
How about you?'
That's less direct than saying,
"Get out of my face and leave me alone!"

Who not these days can honestly,
To themselves admit to say...
Of not having enough nonsense,
To welcome more...
Invited with wishes to visit this madness.
And...
Enjoy the craze as if to crave it!
