Cost and Value
(A Ramble Thought)
By

.
What do people "see in me"?
.
HA!
No fucking idea!
Likely nothing - by no one.
Probably absolutely bugger all!
I'm just another silly meaningless voice in the darkness
Another lone nut shouting on the Internet.
Making words that will do nothing.
And art that will never be felt by anyone.
Both - soul filled Creations I cannot even give away for
free
No one wants them
No one wants me
Just a man with no life worth fighting for.
Not worth defending himself for
No reason to survive
No reason to thrive
No reason to even want or care about making any money for.
Or go to the doctors for a checkup for.
If I made loads of money?
Who would I spend it on? Anyone only attracted to me for
that reason, is already, not worth the effort.
Why get any medical checks? It's a hassle! A total waste of
public money and resources.
Who am I staying healthy for?
I am disposable for a reason!
.
But in that there is a different type of power.
With nothing to lose, - there is nothing to take.
No career or success to lose
No fear of death.
No one to live for
There is a kind of dangerous freedom here, that is worth
fearing
by those who's power only comes from threats, pain, and
intimidation.
.
Unlike successful, popular artists and writers.
I can paint exactly what I need to paint
Write exactly what I need to write
.
Unlike Most
I can always do what is right at any and all costs.
Being loved and valued diminishes that power.
Being needed diminishes me.
Popularity, belonging, family, - these are Cages that limit
my actions.
That causes moral compromises in an ever-evil world
constantly seeking weakness of will in us all.
.
Because when you worry about yourself and yours, you cannot
as easily help the helpless strangers that need someone to stand for them.
.
The less you fear death, pain and dying,
The more you gain the power to refuse harming anyone.
And in a modern money world that relies on wars to function.
Or peddle its macho bullshit, to sell its male power
fantasies to as a means to control us all.
That makes me an outcast.
Because those In power desperately need us to remain 'in
love' with violence.
.
The less I have to be taken, from me,
The more morally mighty and ethical uncompromising I can
then become.
.
Someone may kill me?
Someone dangerous may be imprisoned for my murder – then put
in a place they can do less fear to the innocent.
And for every day that violent person is in there, is another
day he can do less harm to others on the outside.
And in that I will have protected more people and done more
good for the world
Then a decade of tying on my little shitty plastic keyboard
alone,
Or my bits of stacking up art in my shitty tiny flat.
That fate is far better than dying old and alone.
As we all must do
I will die
To maybe one day
Spit in the face of this wicked god
And willingly turn my back on his corrupt heaven.
Then Walk into hell, to comfort those I can, who unjustly
dwell there.
