Cost of equity

Jyme I. Roundtree

Freedom is the illusion they sell us,

Only way to view is pay per view,

Society is already meta,

Never thought I’d live long enough to say “back in my day...”

No...

Cap?

Is that what they say?

But I really felt like life would take more from me,

Wrong worry,

Time takes from your surroundings,

Hard to feel the bottom when you lose your grounding,

Like surviving Order 66 as a foundling,

Family as blended as Hawaiian smoothies,

You learn a lot from people who are older than you,

They always claim to know a lot,

More so why I do the opposite,

Teach me,

Cause everyone above me is stuck in what they’ve found,

& there must be better!

Have you seen hummingbirds!?

Each...

Action...

Is-

Life...

Or-

Death...

When your anxiety has your heart beating 200x a minute,

Sorry to pivot,

But the more I look around the more constructs I see,

“Time,”

“Money,”

“Religion,”

“Society,”

“Freedom” is the illusion they sell us,

Air quotes if you think anything is free,

Only way to view is pay per view,

How many “I can’t breathes” on how many screens?

Society is already meta,

Don’t need Mark’s input,

Never thought I’d live long enough to say “back in my day...”

Never thought I’d live this long,

No...

Cap?

Cognitive dissonance engaged,

Is that what they say?

“OH, Brother... This guy STINKS!!!”

But I really felt like life would take more from me,

Don’t worry,

Plane landing,

Time takes from your surroundings,

Do not conform to a construct that’s never been real,

Hard to feel the bottom when you lose your grounding,

Harder to focus when you need to heal,

Might as well mull through this migraine too,

-Fine!

How much does it cost to be valued just like you?
