Civilization

Study. get a job.
earn a living.
marry. have kids.
lead a life.

Why bother?
why digress?
why derail the 
conveyor belt?

Why think?
why observe the 
noise inside?
why give thoughts 
a language?

Why give a chair 
four legs? or
aeroplane wing?
why do anything 
other than just
breathe and exist?

What’s the point
of asking a question
in a world that has
mass-produced all
the answers?

That's what all
all cavemen thought. 
till a lazy dude said, 
why not?

and set his head
on fire to impress 
a girl for a 
one-night-stand.

and from the wheel
to steam engines-
the standards 
have gone up 
ever since.

the arc of history 
is bent by the 
acts of these dudes
doing crazy stuff to 
sniff ass.
