Poem -
Rinse Then Repeat
Bukowski Stare
Zoplicone zeds
For artificial dreams
Early alarm clocks
Robotic regimes
The fog starts to clear
Music fix in the car
A sheep on autopilot
To the thought abattoirย
The right mix of chemicalsย
In order to functionย
Circling roundaboutsย
Never finding the junction
Stripped ham hock heels
From Ill fitting safety boots
Dripping auburn sweatย
Inhaling metallic soot
Sickly stifling heat
Zero fresh airย
Seeing through bullshitย
With a Bukowski stare
Benevolent benzos
Keep emotions neat
Another shift ends
Rinse then repeat

Wow Syd this is a genius write. You highlight the medicated society of drones we have become. Born to be conditioned to believe this is normal. It isn't, it's slavery really and then when you are too exhausted to think on it, they distract you with mundane TV shows and other fancy distractions that are actually just other forms of medication. Causing us to vegetate the brain. I love this Syd, it really got me thinking. I also love the fluidity and structure to this write, also the image and its wise words just emphasise the point you are making.ย
Brilliant writingย

This highlights the robotic autopilot nature of things and the new normal routine probably. I was admiring the abattoir stanza lots. Kudos!
Plz do read and comment my newest poem too.ย
Apologies for the extremely late reply. Yes I will stop by your page soon.

My Dear Syd,
I just got to read your hysterical poetic version of a poor blokes workday.ย I feel like I have to respond with a Haiku.
Up at dawn to work
Punch a clock, nine hours later
Leave the dank prison
Peace and Love,

Larry,
My sincere apologies for this extremely late reply. I've only just read your comment. I hope you are keeping well. I love the haiku.
Take careย - Syd xo
