I'm Just a Monkey

[Nikia]

I have no imagination
No independent thought
Only what they feed me
Like a monkey in the zoo

Sitting in my cage working
Doing what they tell me
Doesn't really matter
As long as they pay me

Sitting in front of the tv
Watching the commercials
I could be so happy
I'll buy it when I can

I'm just a monkey
Doing what they tell me
Happy with my peanuts
Is that what life's about?

This is my first sucessful (as in a complete work) poetry in a long time. I wanted to write something moving the other day, but instead I wrote this.

2. No one likes my poem

Darn it. As I said, it was an attempt.
Writing used to be my passion, but I fell out of practice. I was better with stories anyway, but poems can be fun too.

3. I like it.

Maybe you should re-word the thread title to encourage people to post their own poetry. If there's one thing I've learned about message boards, it's that people love talking about themselves.
