In this poem I express my disillusionment of said ways of civilization.
I enjoyed creating absurdly fictitious sea creatures and mixed metaphors to express my disillusionment and reveal how hypocritical the average person is.
ex: jalapeno jaguars, artichoke sharks, drowning an alligator, etc.

Lyrics:
What's a poet to do when he hears music coming out of airvents?
There's a splinter in my soul and no muse can care for it
But is a fisherman off duty considered an empty fine line?
I don't know what to do when questions become answers
Or when authenticity becomes primitivity, stuck in a time warp
I'm just trying to navigate my ship to the ever-changing port
But it's flooded with jalapeno jaguars and artichoke sharks
So I'm stuck with this placebo flashback for a heart
Yo your darkness plagues me with bad lies and artificial experiences
There's no brighter side of the crass, just this rough patch
So I'm paying homage to the art of articulating things
So feel free to see the outside, but ignore the core of it
The top half of me's vibrant, but the bottom feels dead
We're only related in the sense it's biologically accurate
And any problem you got with that isn't my job to deal with
So I'm smashing the heads of water snakes with golden chains,
Using my bald ego to drown alligators in wailing waves!
