To The World

to whom do I belong?
to myself, perhaps?
no, to the world
in all its cynical glory
my talents belong to it
with them I feed the system
the small-minded Ahs
that cannot see beyond this transparent thing
to which we bow

to whom do I belong?
to my beloved, perhaps?
no, to the world
with all its crushing qualities
my whispered words belong to it,
with them I caption the lives
of all those plastic doll heads
lost to vices.
What more can I do than
sit and stew
in this hated, cornerless box?
Nothing.
for I belong to the world
in all its cunning ultimatums.
to the world

we belong
