A POEM BY BEN PARKER - 17/2/17

 

lost sight of the end goal

lost sight of the final page

mind feels like a black hole

ideas fade out with age

lost my guidance

losing reasons to pursue these dreams

the words now only coming in showers

rather than rapid streams

bigger fish to fry

screams my conscience in the bad seat

but the same old phrases

play through my mind on repeat

keep on making money

just to live on and to eat

so i can keep on marching 

to the slave drivers beat

​

how can i thrive when i dont know

what my purpose is

ive been making things for years

but the more i do the worse it gets

​

let me tell about the things

i want but ill never get

like a girl that doesnt take interest

in the friends i introduce them to

a girl with a career who has something to pursue

a girl so fuckin wild

that she belongs in a zoo

a girl that hears me 

when i tell what she can do

because lately im showing potential

to seeds with no intention of flowering

i dont know why i get so involved with empowering

i guess im just surrounded by destruction

so whilst my castle falls

i can watch my lover towering

perhaps so they can save me from myself

​

people say i have bad taste

people say i get unlucky

but i think i should just pick a girl

that wants to do more than fuck me

or fuck with me

that always expects a buck from me

thats only for some of those in my past

the others had much deeper reasons as to 

why we couldnt last

recently my love life like my art

i cant be arsed

rolling in circles

had to break out of the box

​

i dont even have time for love anymore

all i wanna do is pass my tests

and make my family proud

kickstart my career

celebrate with my friends

in an outfit that is queer

but they cant help liking all the photos

even if behind the screen they wisper

to one another

only inspiration i source

come from donald glover

and jaden smith is just buying elon musk time

cant stop thinking about mars

as i piece up the next rhyme

conservative with my cash

im gonna save up every damn dime

coin note cheque 

to get my ticket

because recently ive been so done with earth

and all who inhabit it 

that group includes myself

because i try to fit into the puzzle

but im bad at it

so ill meet you all on mars

hopefully i wont be mad at it
