Carpe Diem
or was it Diem Carpe
those "moralgrounded"
corporate whores
preach to the world
but mostlythemselves?
All in dry hopes
of setting a standard -
their standard-
of who I should be,
think,
see.
Well, sir,
I have my ownmouth,
eyes,
mind.
And I intend to find
my own moralconscience.
I'm sorry, sir,
but I can't afford
some 20 dollarcosmetic
that covers my spirit
and hides my identity.
Please excuse me,sir,
but it seems
I have a day to seize.
