Array ( [sid] => 62519 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Coveted Extinction [time] => 2004-09-04 12:11:19 [hometext] => Just meaningless drabble. But for me it is fun, my idea of fun anyway. [bodytext] => Coveted Extinction




Monotony is dull
But to change, to succumb to the rule of others unacceptable
Repetitive sameness is more soothing
Than the harsh dictatorial forced conformity
If my current lifestyle seems unsafe to others
Let it be
Routine check ups
A more balanced diet
Is not and never will be my goal
If these terms are placed upon me I will rebel
For, it is not for others to decide my fate
I will not change my ways at this point
I covet my own extinction
Not at my own hands of course
But rather as, come what may
For whatever time I have left
I chose to spend on my terms only
And not on what is…
Safe
Right
Proper
Expectable
Those terms are not part of my vocabulary
I am not a child
Though I do seem to act like one
It is because I am willing to be discount
To the…
No’s
Dont’s
Cant’s
Proudly the insubordinate one
Tired of ultimatums
I welcome the reaper
For then his is the only command I chose to follow
Blissful nothingness

Oh yeah! I can relate wholeheartedly to this piece. You put it into words with splendor! Rebels with a cause. Very, very good!

It is sad that current certainties created such as that some would covet such extinction of values...but I guess in the face of today's trivialities I too would calm succumb tp such monotony and embrace this much coveted extinction and principles and good sense be damned. A very sub-topical, vauge but arousing write. It does feeds the despair lover in me at least...let us sink into darkness ..safely... rather then burn in the brightness of the might... anyway...Nice write!..vauge but FUN indeed...if only it were...
