Atlas Shrugged (Because of His Bipolar Tendencies)
Folder:
Society He wandered
toward the extreme
temperature zones
like a broken compass.
The North Pole
had all the happiness
he could want
cascading down
from celestial regions,
extraterrestrial promises
of light-years of joy.
But the continuous smiles
grew monotonous;
he wanted change
forgetting that the
equator was overpopulated.
He fell down the axis
at rocket speed
drawn by the magnetism
found at the
southernmost point
of earth.
There lived
a civilization
of frost-bitter people
orbiting around
their depression.
They cried over
self-made problems
that they made
appear global,
oblivious as these
troubles melted away
at the end of each solstice.
He scoured across to
both ends of the world,
unsure to which pole
he belonged...
until he searched
within himself
and found warm,
controlled climates,
away from the fringes
of moods driven by others
and unpredictable behavior.
