<Life Logic>|Shimmer Green

This world
is quietly killing
Idealists
Everyone is concerned about
Their bills, their food
And the desire that periodically comes
From their vagina or penis

No one cares about poetry or novel
They think they are
Boring language games
Literature can be a storm
Or face a heavy snowstorm
But the realists
only care about
Whether literature can make enough money

In the world's tyranny
Everyone is running for their lives
Like the ridiculous street rat
And like those poems that are rich in rhetoric
but empty in content poems
It is said that the academy
The most favored form of poetry
