A Poetic Rant

Poetry On Odyssey: Poetry For The Weak
Kasey Baltz

I don’t get it—how can everyone just walk around in life like everything is ok. It is not, nothing is, nothing ever was.

You say that you're happy, post pictures online, fake it and never make it—aren’t you living a lie? There is so much going on in this world that people are just pushing to the side. When we're all just humans, the ones presently living and alive.

There is no past present or future, there's only now, we're all here just trying to thrive. But no one opens up, you can’t sit down with a stranger and debate about the political bust. Just fake smiles, and oh, if you're a feminist you must be crazy, just that person we all don’t want to hang out with.

I’m sorry I'm an activist and believe in change and power to the people who need it. We're all living now with scars and bruises with no meaning. No meaning to our name. Trying to change ourselves but we know very clearly, it’s not us, it’s the world, but that won't change in four years. Humanity has forgotten who we really are.

All a bunch of mole rats running on metal wheel bars.

Chased by time, forgetting the end is very near. Someone has taken the creativity and passion out of you dear. Sucked out your individuality, just one of the robots in the system. Clinking away on the computer keys but nobody but you can listen.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
