An ode to Nietzsche's Zarathustra (or something completely different)

On a day so cold and dreary

My heart weeps, sinks and grows weary

 

A heaviness as sentiments of despair lay upon my very soul

Burrowing and piercing through my heart

 

I question myself where of comes this melancholic sound

The hollow answers of emptiness and loneliness is all that can be found

 

I recapture my thought process losing my temper at my own frailty

As words of my macho education surge and flow through my blood

 

While my heart aches to be heard I convince myself that « Poetry is the uttering of overemotional baggage by senile old men »

Condeming myself for my helpless pondering « Fuck Poetry ! Poetry is dead. »

 

Though my soul might be scarred to its core

I sweep all the sadness away under a loud bravoure of manly oneliners

 

So, « let’s fuck some bitches and score some coke »

Since I rather have the screaming agony of a wounded soul drowned out by drugs and « ho’s »
